    I am looking for information about:

    a captain of the Bavarian army who participated as an attaché or observer in the African war of 1860 between Spain and Morocco.

    His name is not entirely clear, perhaps August Beaucumm.

    For the merit acquired in the battle of March 23, 1860 in the valley of Wad Ras, he was awarded the Cross of the 1st class of the Spanish Order of Saint Ferdinand.

     

    Bavarian Cavalry Brigade lieutenant, perhaps Eduardo Schlaginteil
