Biographical Essay (by Digby Smith)
Karl Joseph Graf Hadik von Futak was born in 1756 in Leutschau
(now Levoca in Slovenia) in Hungary. He was the son of FM
Andreas Graf Hadik, who had raided Berlin in the Seven Years
War. He entered Austrian military service in the cavalry
and was promoted to captain on 1 March 1766 and to Major
on 29 May 1779, in his father's Hussar Regiment. On 1 May
1784, he was promoted to Oberstleutnant. Hadik fought
in the War of the Bavarian Succession in 1779 and was distinguished
in the raid on Gebersdorf. He also fought in the wars against
the Turks in 1788/89 and was distinguished at Belgrade. In
July 1789, he was promoted to Oberst and made commander of
Hussar Regiment "Graf von Blankenstein" N°16.
In 1792 Count Hadik commanded his hussar regiment in the
Netherlands and on 29 September, forced the crossing of the
Sambre against superior forces. He fought in the Austrian
defeat at Jemappes on 6 November of that year. In 1793 he
again distinguished himself in the action at the crossing
of the Sambre. On 16 October 1793 he held up a far superior
French force all day on 16 October; for which he was promoted Generalmajor on
24 February 1794. The same year in April, he commanded a
cavalry brigade in (Baillet de) Latour's division of the
Prince of Orange's corps in the Netherlands. On 7 July 1794,
he was awarded the Military Maria Theresian Order (KC). In
1795 Hadik commanded a brigade in Clerfayt's Army of the
Lower Rhine, in Germany, and in 1796, he served in Erzherzog
Carl's Army of the Lower Rhine and fought at Wetzlar, Amberg,
Würzburg and Aschaffenburg. For his actions at Würzburg,
on 29 April 1797, he was awarded the Commander's Cross of
the MMTO. On 10 April 1797, Hadik received his promotion
to Feldmarschalleutnant. Early in 1800 he commanded
a division in Novara and fought at Cadibona, in the siege
of Genoa and at the battle of Novi on 15 August. He commanded
a corps (although still an FML) at Marengo, where he was
mortally wounded. He died on 24 July 1800 in Alessandria.

Stockach, the relief of Philippsburg and at Mannheim. At
the end of the year he transferred to the Hussar Regiment "Esterhazy" N°3
as a squadron commander. In 1800 he was at Freiburg on the
upper Rhine and he fought at Stockach, Engen, Mösskirch,
Biberach, Memmingen, Erbach, the Iller River, Ulm, Neuburg,
Deussenhausen, Vettenhausen and Deubach, where he was wounded.
On 4 July 1800 he was promoted to Major. On 10 December he
transferred to Dragoon Regiment (vacant) N°13 and was
then appointed Flügel-Adjutant to Erzherzog Ferdinand
in
Ödenburg.
In 1804 Hardegg received his promotion to Oberstleutnant in
the Hussar Regiment "Ott" N°5. He then transferred to
Uhlan Regiment "Schwarzenberg" N°2.
Already the following year he was promoted to Oberst and
given command of Uhlan Regiment N°2, but he then fell
ill until December 1805. In 1809 he was appointed commander
of the advance guard of FML Hennequin's division (three Jäger
Battalions and Uhlan Regiment N°2) and was distinguished
in the storm of Berchnig and at Aspern. The day after the
victorious battle he was promoted to Generalmajor and
given command of a brigade in II Army Corps at Wagram, where
he defended Baumersdorf village with seven battalions against
the repeated assaults of Prince Eugene, Marmont and Oudinot
and then formed the rearguard of the Austrian army from 6-11
July. For his distinguished service in the campaign of 1809
he he was awarded the Commander's Cross of the MMTO in April
1810.
In 1813 Count Ignaz Hardegg was initially commanding a brigade
in FML Moritz Liechtenstein's 1st Light Division. He was
then promoted to Feldmarschalleutnant on 2 September
and given command of a division in I Corps. He commanded
Bennigsen's advance guard of the Reserve Army of Poland,
until relieved by Russian troops. He then made a forced march
to arrive on the battlefield of Leipzig at dawn on 18 October.
As he led the advance guard of the left wing (Prince Hessen-Homburg)
Hardegg was seriously wounded at Dölitz. For these actions,
he was awarded the Russian Order of St. George 3rd cl. and
appointed 2nd Proprietor of the Cuirassier Regiment N°8.
After his recovery he returned to the army and fought at
Nogent-sur-Seine on 10/11 February, against GdD Louis-Auguste-Victor
Bourmont Comte de Ghaisnes. On 15 February 1814, he stormed
Moret village. After the battle of Montereau his division
was sent to the Army of the South at Dijon against Augereau.
On 3 March, he occupied Chalons and on 11 March Bourg-en-Bresse.
From 18-30 March, he fought around Lyons. In 1815 he accompanied
the Russian Czar Alexander I.
In 1829 Count Hardegg was appointed Military Commander in
Linz and in November 1830 appointed Commanding General in
Transylvania together with the appointment to Privy Councillor.
After the death of Grand Duke Constantin of Russia he was
awarded the proprietorship of the Cuirassier Regiment N°8
(September 1831). At the end of that year Ignaz Graf Hardegg
was promoted to General of Cavalry and Vice President of
the Aulic War Council. Three years later he became President
of this highest military office. In 1836 Emperor Ferdinand
I. awarded him the Order of the Golden Fleece. Hardegg died
on 17 February 1848 in Vienna.

Biographical
Essay (by Digby Smith)
Johann Peter Karl Graf Hennequin von Fresnel und Curel was
born in France in 1762. After the French Revolution he entered
Austrian military service (1793) with the rank of colonel.
On 27 September 1799, he was promoted to Generalmajor.
In 1800 he commanded a brigade in Schwarzenberg's division
of the Right Wing in the battle of Hohenlinden (3 December).
In 1805, Count Hennequin was in Schwarzenberg's Avantgarde,
under FML Klenau, commanding a grenadier brigade. On 1 January
1807, he was promoted to Feldmarschelleutnant. In
1809 he commanded an infantry division in Bellegarde's I
Army Corps at Aspern, Wagram and Znaim. During the campaign
of 1813/14 he served in the main army and fought at Arcis-sur-Aube
on 20-21 March, where the Austrians defeated Napoleon. On
21 January 1817 Hennequin received promotion to General
der Kavallerie. He died on 25 February 1831 in Galicia.
