He was the most celbrated of that line his mom knew.<br /><br /> He was in all these wars as a young man and ended his career by beating the Saxons and Austrians at Kesselsdorf, without Frederick the King, who turned out to be too slow, (even though he was constantly berating the old Dessauer for being too slow) and capturing Dresden in time for Christmas, 1745.<br /><br /> His son was a good general too and played a big part in that battle, as well as other ones. Anhalt was a small place and tied their fate to the Prussians in those days.<br /><br />I can't find my one volume of the CS Grant book. They never had the second one around here.mekelnborghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02269195057608159822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486757399063403760.post-58784221670295115242011-10-08T11:41:07.744+01:002011-10-08T11:41:07.744+01:00Ray - not much I'm afraid - Grant has Brandenb...Ray - not much I'm afraid - Grant has Brandenburg was part of Prussia - he lists l'Ostange as white coat/scarlet lining by the WSS.. couldn't see any of the others, but not a surprise as they were mostly named after their colonels in this period...Steve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486757399063403760.post-84567276583212865182011-10-07T15:54:35.600+01:002011-10-07T15:54:35.600+01:00Cheers for the comments chaps!!
