Joseph Wenzel Graf [Count] Radetzky of Radetz. 16 It is interesting to note, in the portrait Fieldmarschall Radetzky is wearing at least 17 Stars, 2 Collars, the Fleece and 4 [or more] Sashes--Ed. JOSEPH WENZEL GRAF [COUNT] RADETZKY OF RADETZ. 16 in 1831. He was promoted to Fieldmarshal in 1836. His manoeuvers in peace times were a sample of excellence and even better his exemplary measures taken in the war years of 1848 a~d 1849 during which he achieved the apex of his glorious career. Radetzky stayed on as Army Co~aander though already 90 years old and Civil Governor and Military Goveraor-General until he resigned February 28, 1857. Radetzky came from an old Bohemian family of noblemen. His bravery was the mote of the day. The wars i~ Italy against Piemonte were the basis of teaching tectics and strategy for a long time. Finally I would like to mention that the Austrian Army had even a march named after Radetzky, highly melodious and easy to remember. He was given a Marshals Baton, however according to the most k~owledgeable historian of Austro-Hungarian Army History, this Baton is lost. The picture, from the Official archives, is originally in color and is extremely beautiful. It was sent to me by Dr. Allmayer-Beck of the Austrian Heeresgeschichtliches ~seum, Mil~t~rwissenschaftliches Institute. Allmayer-Beck is the greatest living expert on Austro-Hungarian Military History. It shows Radetzky, middle aged, wearing more Grand Crosses than probably any other man ever obtained in his life time. Here are the Official Decorations he had: THE GOLDEN FLEECE. GRAND CROSS OF THE MILITARY MA~RIA THERISA ORDER. GRAND CROSS OF THE ST. STEPHEN ORDER (DECORATION IN DIAMONDS). GRAND CROSS OF THE LEOPOLD ORDER. ORDER OF THE IRON CROWN, IST CLASS.

  • Four Ser~Es Originating in 1906, 1908, 1910 and 1916. Each Series Contained Breast Badges, and All Grades in All Series Are Scarce
    four ser~es originating in 1906, 1908, 1910 and 1916. Each series contained breast badges, and all grades in all series are scarce. The ORDER FOR ARTS AND SCIENCES, in Detmold only, was of three classes whose badge design represented a rose in full bloom. Also called "The Rose of Lippc," it was bestowed from 1898 to 1918. Schaumburg-Ltppc’s ORDER FOR ART AND SCIENCE from 1899 included a silver enameled cross to 1914, a gilt enameled cross from 1914 to 1918, and a plain silver cross as the Second Class from 1902 to 1918. MECKLENBURG-SCttWERIN and MECKLENBURG-STRELITZ: The HOUSE ORDER OF TItE WENDISIt CROWN was founded in both states in 1864, but the insignia differed in the motto, "Per Aspera Ad Astra" in Schwerin and "Avito Viret Honore" in Strelitz. There were four classes with several variants but the knight grade, in gold or gilt, was only infrequently augmented with swords. The Strelitz badges of this order are far less common than those of Schwerin. The ORDER OF TttE GRIFFONwas established in Schwerin in 1884 and extended to Strelitz in 1904. The single knight badge could be augmented with a crown as a higher distinction in exceptional cases. NASSAU: The ORDER OF MERIT OF ADOLPHUS OF NASSAU was founded in 1858 and became obsolete in 1866. It had a knight grade in gold and a silver cross in the fourth class. Both were occasionally augmented with swords. The order was revived in Luxembourg about 1890 and there is a challenge in telling those badges from the earlier Nassau series.
