Biographical Essay (by Digby Smith)
In 1750 Bajalics entered the Infantry Regiment 'Erzherzog Ferdinand'
N°2 but left the army four years later. In 1758, he entered
the Warasdiner Grenz-Infantry Regiment as a lawyer. Two years
later (1760) he became a Leutnant and fought in the
Seven Years War. In 1768 he was promoted to Capitän-Leutnant,
1773 to Hauptmann and after the War of the Bavarian
Succession, to Major. In 1783, Bajalics was Oberstleutnant in
the Szluiner Grenz Infantry Regiment. In the war against the
Turks (1787-1792) he was several times distinguished. After
his promotion to GM (1794) Bajalics commanded a brigade on
the Upper Rhine under General der Kavallerie Graf Wurmser.
On 24 September 1795, he was again distinguished in the victory
at Handschuhsheim, for which he earned the Knight's Cross of
the Military Maria Theresian Order. On 30 May 1796, Bajalics
was ordered to take his brigade (Infantry Regiments Nos 11
and 26 and the Mahoney Jägers) via Bregenz into the Tyrol
to make the attempt to try to relieve Wurmser in Mantua. The
following year (1797) he commanded a division at Rivoli on
14/15 January and was promoted to FML.
During the retreat out of Italy in March 1797, Bajalics was
part of the right wing together with GM Vinchant de Gontroeul.
They went via Udine, Cividale and Caporetto, up the valley
of the Isonzo to Tarvis. Erzherzog Carl, with the divisions
of Hohenzollern and Reuss, took the eastern route via Gradiska
and Görz to Laibach. On 21 March, Massena's Avantgarde
had pushed GM Ocskay out of Tarvis and now blocked the Austrian
escape route. Austrian general Gontroeul attacked and pushed
the French back to Saifnitz, but next day, he was assaulted
by Massena; defeated with heavy loss and thrown back through
Tarvis, towards Villach. Bajalics (and Köblös) were
still on the wrong side of Tarvis. On 23 March with the divisions
of Massena, Guyeux and Serrurier closing them in, both were
forced to surrender with 4,000 men, 25 guns and 500 waggons.
On 31 March, in St. Veith, Napoleon opened negotiations for
peace as he was now dangerously over-extended and the French
armies on the Rhine could not come into action to aid him.
Bajalics retired in 1797 and died in 1800 in Karlstadt, Croatia.

Biographical Essay (by Digby Smith)
Johann Peter Freiherr Beaulieu de Marconnay entered Austrian
military service in 1733. In the Seven Years War (1756-1763)
he served on FM Loudon's staff. At the beginning of the Revolutionary
Wars he served in the Netherlands and fought one of the first
engagements of the war when he beat GL Armand-Louis de Biron
at Mons on 29 April 1792. On 13 September his late arrival
to support the Dutch at Menin led to the collapse of the allied
campaign for that year. He commanded the left wing in the Austrian
defeat at Jemappes on 6 November 1792.
In 1794 FML Beaulieu served in the Netherlands under Coburg.
Two years later (1796), at the age of 72, he was appointed Feldzeugmeister and
Commander-in-Chief of the army in Italy. His command consisted
of the divisions of Argenteau and Sebottendorf (36,000 Austrians
and 1,500 Neapolitan cavalry). Also in Italy were FML Colli's
Austrian and Sardinian corps of 20,000 men. Nelson's squadron
of the Royal Navy supported his southern flank. Beaulieu was
opposed by 43,000 French troops. Beaulieu tried to concentrate
his corps too close to the enemy; fought at Voltri on 10 April
and Montenotti on the next two days, but lost the initiative
to Napoleon and fell back to Aqui. Here he seems to have been
in shock because he failed to issue any orders from 10 to 14
April. These days of paralysis caused the disasters of Dego
and 6,000 casualties. This sharp defeat knocked the Sardinians
out of the campaign and Napoleon cut Colli's 5,000 Austrians
off from Beaulieu. The balance of forces and the strategic
situation thus swung badly against Beaulieu; he had now only
30,000 men (and of these Colli's 5,000 were cut off) to face
45,000 under Napoleon and Kellermann. Piedmont was thus evacuated
and on 2 May the Austrians fell back over the Po at Valenza.
Napoleon crossed the river – unopposed, but observed
by two squadrons of GM Liptay's cavalry – at Piacenza
on 7 May. Beaulieu's forces were surprised and not concentrated.
On 8 May Liptay was attacked and thrown back at Fombio and
lost 600 men. His corps dissolved in the following chase. Beaulieu
worsened the situation by further dispersing his forces although
he did pull back over the River Adda intact.
On 10 May, Sebottendorf's brigade was attacked and beaten at
Lodi on the Adda by Napoleon with Massena's and Serrurier's
divisions. Augereau's division came up in the latter stages
of the fight. GM Schubirz had left Lodi before the attack,
to fall further back according to Beaulieu's orders. Napoleon
did not press the pursuit. Sebottendorf lost 2,000 men and
15 guns. Beaulieu fell back past Mantua (throwing 20 of his
best battalions into the fortress) and behind the Mincio River.
This brought the garrison of Mantua up to 13,000 men. Beaulieu
now had 31,000 troops in all under his command. He set up his
new HQ in St Giorgio near Borghetto. His next line of withdrawal
lay to the north, up the valley of the Etsch into the Tyrol
and ran parallel to the Mincio. There was a final, minor clash
on 30 May at Borghetto on the Mincio; Beaulieu was sick on
the day of the action. The Austrian forces were strung out
along the riverbank in penny packets, at Borghetto itself was
only one battalion and three squadrons of Sebottendorf`s brigade.
The bridge there was still intact. When the French assault
began, the Austrians managed to break the bridge, but the French
followed some of their cavalry outposts through a ford close
by. The thin line was quickly pierced by Colonel Gasparde-Armádée
Gardanne. Beaulieu withdrew without great loss. In June he
resigned his command, handed it over to Melas and withdrew
to his estate near Linz, where he lived until his death in
1819.

Biographical
Essay (by Digby Smith)
Friedrich Joseph Anton Gabriel Noyel Graf von Bellegarde was
born in 1752. In 1797 he was promoted to Generalmajor.
In early 1800 Bellegarde commanded an infantry brigade in FML
Ferdinand Johann Graf von Morzin's division in northwestern
Italy. At the end of May, he had been transferred to FML Anton
Freiherr von Elsnitz's division on the River Var. He took part
in the siege of Genoa and then commanded an infantry brigade
in FML Hadik's main column at Marengo on 14 June. In 1800 he
was promoted to Feldmarschalleutnant and one year later
received the proprietorship of the Infantry Regiment N°44.
FML Friedrich Graf von Bellegarde retired in 1809 and died
in 1830.

Biographical Essay (by Digby Smith)
Graf Bellegarde's father (Johann Franz) was a Saxon general
and later Minister for War. His son joined the Saxon army in
1766 initially, but transferred to Austrian service in 1772.
In 1785 he became Colonel-Commander of the Dragoon Regiment
N°26 Erzherzog Joseph Anton which unit he led during
the wars against the Turks in 1787-92.
In April 1792 Bellegarde served in the Army of the Upper Rhine
under FZM Fürst von Hohenlohe-Kirchberg. At the end of
that year Emperor Francis II. promoted him to Generalmajor.
In spring 1793, Bellegarde was transferred to the staff of
FM Prinz von Sachsen-Coburg-Saalfeld's main army in the Netherlands
where he fought in the sieges of Valenciennes and Maubeuge.
In 1794 he was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Military Maria
Theresian Order (MMTO). In 1796, Bellegarde was promoted to
FML and appointed ad latus to Archduke Charles. He thus fought
in all the major engagements: Wetzlar (15 June), Malsch (9
July), Neresheim (11 August) and Würzburg on 3 September.
In 1797, he accompanied Archduke Charles to northern Italy;
on 7 April he and GM Graf von Merveldt negotiated the armistice
of Judenburg and later the treaties of Leoben and Campo Formio.
In 1798, he was a member of the Army Reform Committee, which,
among other things, examined the possibility of introducing
the French army corps system into the Austrian army. The proposal
was rejected by the reactionary majority in the Hofkriegsrat.
In 1799 he commanded the army in the Tyrol and saw action in
Switzerland and Italy. On 4 April he defeated GdB Jean-Joseph-Paul-Auguste
Dessole at Tauffers and Münsters. At the end of that month,
he drove GdD Claude-Jacques Lecourbe out of the Engadin, after
defeating him at Remüs on 30 April.
On 15 May 1799, he was ordered to take 15,000 men to go over
the Alps into Piedmont, to operate with the Russians under
FM Alexander Vassil'evič Suvorov. He marched via Wallenstedt,
Chur and the Splügen Pass, to reach Chiavenna on 21 May.
From here, he went to Como,
where his men were embarked on ships, taken over Lake Como
to Milan and on to Pavia, where he joined the Russians. FML
Bellegarde was ordered to take the citadels of Tortona then
Alessandria. On 20 June, he was defeated by GdD Jean-Victor
Moreau at Cassina Grossa; forced to abandon the siege of Tortona
and to retire behind the River Bormida. On 22 June, he opened
the siege of Alessandria, which capitulated on 22 July. On
15 August, he commanded a division on the right wing in the
battle of Novi under FZM Kray. The French, under GdD Barthélemy-Catherine
Joubert, were defeated; Joubert was killed. Next month, Bellegarde
was called to Vienna, to act as an advisor to the devious intriguing
Foreign Minister, Johann Baron Thugut.
In 1800 he took over command of the Austrian army from
GdK Baron Melas after their defeat at Marengo on 14 June;
the campaign effectively ended here. He failed to exploit
his chances to stop the French crossing the Mincio River
(25-26 December 1800) and was forced to withdraw eastwards
over the River Etsch. This led to the armistice of Treviso,
signed by the belligerents on 16 January 1801.
On 5 September 1800, he was promoted to General der
Kavallerie.
In 1805 Bellegarde was sent to Italy where he commanded
the Austrian centre at Caldiero against Massena; he was
distinguished and awarded the Commander's Cross of the
MMTO.
In the 1809 campaign GdK Graf Bellegarde commanded the
I and II Corps, initially in Bohemia, then in the Danube
valley. At Aspern (21-22 April) he commanded the 2nd Column
(I Corps) which was involved in the hard, hand-to-hand
fighting in Aspern on the first day of the battle. Bellegarde
also commanded the I Corps at Wagram (the village of Deutsch
Wagram itself) on 5-6 July and at Znaim (10-11 July). On
12 September 1809 he was promoted to Feldmarschall.
The next year Bellegarde was appointed president of the Hofkriegsrat (Aulic
War Council) and was responsible for organizing the rapid
mobilisation of the nation in 1813. After his resignation
as Hofkriegsrats-Präsident he commanded the
army of Inner-Austria in northern Italy in 1814 and concluded
the armistice with Prince Eugene in mid-April of that year.
His army was defeated at the attempted crossing of the
Mincio River on 8 February. He died in Vienna on 22 July
1845.

Biographical Essay (by Digby Smith)
Blasius Columban von Bender was born in 1713. He entered Austrian
military service in 1733 and distinguished himself in the War
of the Austrian Succession and in the Seven Years War which
brought him promotions to Generalmajor (1769) and Feldmarschalleutnant (1775).
In 1778 he was appointed Colonel-Proprietor of the Infantry
Regiment N°41.
Shortly before his promotion to Feldzeugmeister (1786)
Bender was sent as Provisional Governor to Luxemburg where
he conducted a short and successful campaign against the rebels.
For this he was promoted Feldmarschall (1790) and awarded
the Grand Cross of the Military Maria Theresian Order (MMTO).
Additionally Bender was appointed Commanding General of the
Austrian Netherlands. In 1794 he conducted a stout defence
of Luxemberg fortress and was eventually starved into surrender.
Four years later he died in Prague as Commanding General in
Bohemia.

Biographical Essay (by Digby Smith)
Heinrich Bersina von Siegenthal (later: Freiherr), born
on 18 February 1762, entered Austrian military service in 1783
as a cadet in the Chevauxleger Regiment "Kinsky" N°7. He
fought with distinction in the wars against the Turks and developed
into an accomplished light cavalry and outpost commander. By
1792 he was appointed to Erzherzog Carl's staff; in 1799 he
transferred to Cuirassier Regiment N°4 and fought in Italy.
In the November of the year Siegenthal was promoted Oberst.
In January 1801 he raised the Uhlan Regiment N°3 in Krakau
and took command of it. In 1802 Erzherzog Carl became Colonel-Proprietor
of the regiment.
In September 1805, Siegenthal was promoted Generalmajor. He
commanded a cavalry brigade in Löwenberg's division in
northern Italy and earned great respect with his defence of
Pontebba and the Flitcher Klause, in the mountains north of
Udine, in the valley of the River Fella, on 19 November. By
this latter delaying action, he allowed the armies of Erzherzog
Carl and his brother Johann to unite.
In the 1809 campaign he fought in the Danube valley where his
successful cavalry charge at Eggmühl on 22 April earned
him the Knight's Cross of the Military Maria Theresian Order.
At Aspern GM Siegenthal commanded a cavalry brigade and was
promoted Feldmarschalleutnant after that battle. At Wagram
he commanded a division in Hohenzollern-Hechingen's II Corps;
his corps was also present at Znaim on 11 July but not engaged.
In 1810 Siegenthal was created Baron due to the reglement of
the MMTO. FML (Bersina von) Siegenthal commanded the 3rd Division
of the Austrian Corps in Russia in 1812 and was appointed 2nd
Proprietor of Cuirassier Regiment N°1 at the end of that
year.
In 1813 he handed Warsaw over to the Russians and was then
appointed Commanding General in Slovenia and Syrmia. In 1827
he was promoted General der Kavallerie and later Vice President
of the Aulic War Council. He died in Vienna in 1831.
