Biographical
Essay (by Digby Smith)
Joseph Franz Graf von Canto de Irles was of Scottish descent.
In 1745, he entered Infantry Regiment N°15 "Pallavicini",
as a Fähnrich. He fought in the Seven Years War,
at the battle of Prague (6 May 1757), and at Breslau (22 November
1757). The next year Canto de Irles was promoted to Captain.
In 1762, he was distinguished in action at Teplitz. 1773 Count
Canto de Irles was appointed Oberstleutnant and commander
of a grenadier battalion. After the War of the Bavarian Succession
(1778/79) during which he received his promotion to Oberst he
fought with his regiment in the wars with the Turks (1787-92)
and was distinguished in action at the pass of Rogatyn, in
the Ukraine (April 1788). During the siege of Chocim (Poland)
the Count received his promotion to Generalmajor. In
August 1794 he was in Italy in FML Baron Wenkheim's division.
After his promotion to FML Canto was appointed commandant of
Mantua fortress. When Wurmser made his first attempt to lift
the siege of the fortress in August 1796, Napoleon was forced
to break off the operation for some days and abandoned his
siege train in the batteries and trenches. Canto de Irles destroyed
the siege works and took the siege train into Mantua. He also
used the chance to gather in supplies and forage. The siege
of the place was resumed and lasted until early 2 February
1797, when it surrendered to the French. The count's health
was now ruined; a few weeks later he died in Warasdin on the
River Drau in Croatia.

Biographical
Essay (by Digby Smith)
Jean-Gabriel-Joseph-Albert Marquis du Chasteler de Courcelles
entered Austrian military service in 1776 as a cadet in Infantry
Regiment N°3
"Prinz Karl von Lothringen", then entered the Ingenieur-Akademie in
Vienna. He fought in the wars against the Turks from 1787-90
and won the Military Maria Theresian Order (KC) as major on
21 July 1789 in the battle of Focsani, in Rumania. His right
leg was smashed by a canister ball during the siege of the
fortress of Chocim in Poland. He was promoted to Oberstleutnant at
the end of the war and appointed Oberleutnant in the Arcieren-Leibgarde in
Belgium and included in the Chamber. In 1792, Chasteler was
again in the engineers, initially to lead the refurbishment
of the ruined fortress of Namur. In 1794, he took part in the
successful siege of Landrecies (21-30 April) under FM Prinz
Friedrich Josias von Sachsen-Coburg-Saalfeld. In 1795, under
FM Graf von Clairfayt, he was directly responsible for the
relief of the beleaguered fortress of Mainz, in September and
October of that year. For this he was promoted to Oberst in
the General Quartermaster Staff. Two years later, he received
his promotion to Generalmajor. In 1799 he was Quartermaster
General of the Austro-Russian army in northern Italy and was
awarded the Commander's Cross of the Military Maria Theresian
Order for his services in that campaign. The count was also
responsible for Macdonald's defeat in the three-day battle
of the Trebbia River (7-20 June 1799) and was seriously wounded
in the successful siege of Alessandria (22 June-22 July 1799).
In 1800, Chasteler was posted to the main Austrian army in
Swabia as Deputy Quartermaster General (Chief of Staff), possibly
at the special request of FZM Kray. They fought in the battles
of Engen and Mösskirch, on 3 and 5 May resp. After Kray's
removal from command, Chasteler led a brigade in the Tyrol.
On 10 January 1801 Chasteler was promoted to FML and the next
year he was made proproprietor of the (Tiroler) Jäger
Regiment N°64, which was disbanded in 1808.
In 1805 he again organized the defence of the Tyrol, whose
fortifications he had designed and had built in the intervening
years. He commanded a division under FML Albert Graf Gyulai
in the VIII Corps. On 2 and 3 November 1805, he successfully
defended the Strub Pass (on the border between Salzburg and
the Tyrol, today on the B312) against Deroy's Bavarian division,
thus securing the withdrawal of Archduke Johann's army eastwards
out of the Tyrol. Conducting a fighting withdrawal against
heavy odds, he then joined up with Archduke Johann's troops
in Gonowitz on 26 November. He was now given command of the
Avantgarde of the united Austrian troops under Archduke Carl's
command. In 1808 Chasteler began the rebuilding of the fortifications
of Komorn in Hungary. In the same year, he became poproprietor
of Infantry Regiment N°46.
In 1809 Chasteler was now commander of the VIII Corps and was
charged with the assisting the liberation of the Tyrol from
Bavarian rule. He led his small corps into the province on
9 April to help the uprising of the peasants under Andreas
Hofer but was decisively defeated by Marshal Lefebvre's superior
Franco-Bavarian force at the towns of Söll, Wörgl
and Rattenberg (in the Inn valley) on 13 May. The Tyrolean
revolt was crushed. His regiment (N°46) was disbanded at
the end of the campaign.
At the beginning of 1813, he refurbished the fortifications
of Prague, then took command of a division in the Army of Bohemia.
He fought at Dresden and Kulm. After Leipzig, he assumed command
of IV Corps from GdK Graf Klenau and laid siege to Gouvion
St-Cyr in Dresden, which city capitulated on 11 November. After
his promotion to Feldzeugmeister Chasteler was appointed
governor of Venice, where he died in 1825.

Biographical
Essay (by Digby Smith)
Karl Joseph Graf Clerfayt de Croix joined the Austrian army
in 1753. He fought with repeated distinction during the Seven
Years War, particularly at the battles of Prague (6 May 1757),
Hochkirch (14 October 1758) and Liegnitz on 15 August 1760.
At the end of the war, he was a colonel at only 30 years of
age. In 1773 he was promoted to Generalmajor and two
years later, in 1775, received the proprietorship of the Infantry
Regiment N°9, which office he held until his death. In
1783 Clarfayt was promoted to Feldmarschalleutnant.
When Belgian separatists rose up in 1787/88, he resisted their
repeated calls to join the rebellion, remaining true to the
Emperor. During the wars against the Turks (1787-92) he was
promoted to Feldzeugmeister (1788), in recognition of
his victories at Mehadia and on 27 July 1788, at Calafat on
the Danube. Shortly in succession he was awarded the Commander's
Cross (1789) and Grand Cross (1790) of the Military Maria Theresian
Order.
In April 1792, Clerfayt was given command of the Austrian army,
which was to operate on the Rhine with the Duke of Brunswick's
Prussians against the French. On 11 June of that year, Clerfayt's
troops inflicted the first defeat on the French under GdD Jean-Baptiste
Gouvion at La Grisuelle. Gouvion was killed in this action.
Clerfayt then took the fortresses of Longwy (on 23 August)
and Verdun (2 September); he then covered Brunswick's retreat
from Valmy (20 September 1792), back to the Rhine. The count
was then ordered to move north, into Belgium, to join the country's
governor, Albert Herzog von Sachsen-Teschen. He set off on
7 October, reaching Mons on 31 of that month. At Jemappes (6
November 1792) Clairfayt commanded the Austrian centre in their
defeat. The Austrians fell back east to Roermond; Clerfayt
took over command, when the Duke Albrecht fell ill. He was
forced to continue the withdrawal to Köln, as FML Beaulieu's
corps had become cut off from his own and had been forced to
fall back south into Luxemburg. In the spring of 1793, overall
command of Austrian forces opposite the Netherlands was given
to FM Friedrich Josias von Sachsen-Coburg; Clerfayt retained
command of the major part of the line of battle troops. He
surprised the French at Aldenhofen on 1 March and decided the
battle of Neerwinden on 18 March. He also commanded one of
the assault columns at the battle of Caesar's Camp on 7 August.
He then successfully laid siege to the fortress of Le Quesnoy
(28 August – 13 September 1793). The Austrians now laid
siege to Maubeuge, the last fortress between them and Paris.
French General Lazarre Carnot rushed an army together under
the levée en masse legislation, to save Maubeuge. On
15 October, Jourdan led this army against Clerfayt's Observation
Corps at Wattignies; it was easily beaten off. But next day,
Jourdan threw overwhelming forces on the Austrian left wing
and Clerfayt was forced to retreat to the Sambre. Maubeuge
was saved.
In spring 1794, FZM Clerfayit commanded the Austrian right
wing in Flanders and successfully beat off all French assaults,
until his defeat at Pichegru's hands at Courtray on 11 May.
The main Austrian army was now defeated on 26 June; the Prinz
of Sachsen-Coburg was dismissed; Clerfayt took his place, but
the strategic situation was now such, that all he could do
was to conduct a fighting withdrawal eastwards to Köln,
and over the Rhine, which was reached on 2 October.
Together with his promotion to Field Marshal Clerfayt was appointed
commander of the Austrian army on the Middle and Upper Rhine
against General Jourdan, and beat GdD Schaal in the battle
of Mainz on 29 October. On 21 December 1795, he concluded an
armistice with the French and returned to Vienna. Here, he
fell foul of intrigues. His conclusion of the armistice was
heavily criticised and he was removed from command. Shortly
before his death in 1798 the count was installed as a knight
in the Order of the Golden Fleece.

Biographical
Essay (by Digby Smith)
Michael Colli da Vigevano was born in 1738. The first general
rank (Generalmajor) he reached in 1788, following by Feldmarschalleutnant in
1793. In 1794 he commanded the Centre of the army. In 1796
he commanded of a division of 5,000 Austrians and 20,000 Sardinians
under Beaulieu. On 9 April he advanced to retake the Col Ardente
from the French in support of GM Argenteau, but then had to
withdraw. From 19 – 22 April his isolated corps was defeated
by Napoleon with the divisions of Augereau, Massena and Serrurier.
The combats took place at Ceva on 19, Cursaglia on 20 and Mondovi
on 22 April. Colli offered Napoleon a truce; this was accepted
next day in principle and signed on 28 April. On 27 April Saorgio
had fallen to the French. They took the Col di Tenda (on the
road from Nice to Cuneo) on 8 May. This sharp defeat knocked
the Sardinians out of the campaign and Napoleon cut Colli off
from Beaulieu. Piedmont was thus evacuated by the Austrians
and on 2 May they fell back over the Po at Valenza. Colli went
into Mantua fortress then formed the left wing of the new Austrian
line with 5,000 men of the Mantua garrison at Goito. When the
Austrian line of the Mincio was pierced at Borghetto on 30
May, he sent his infantry back into Mantua and rejoined Beaulieu
with his cavalry. The French divisions of Serrurier and Augereau
closed up to start the siege of the fortress on 4 June. Wurmser's
relief column broke through to Mantua, but was defeated on
15 September in the clash of La Favorita and St Giorgio and
had to take refuge in the fortress. It held out until early
1797.

Born on 30 March 1775 in Wetzlar (Germany) as second son of
the Vice Chancellor of the Holy Roman Empire, Prince Gundacker,
Hieronymus Karl Graf von Colloredo-Mansfeld entered military
service in 1792 as Oberleutnant in FZM Clerfayt's HQ.
In 1793 he was promoted to Junior Captain and was given command
of a grenadier company, in Infantry Regiment "Joseph Colloredo"
N°57. He served at the siege of Conde, the battle of Caesar's
Camp, the siege of Dunquerque, in which he was very distinguished.
He was then promoted to captain and again distinguished himself
in the battle of Tourcoing. At Conde Count Colloredo was captured
and, although his exchange was arranged, he was arrested and
held as a hostage for the French commissars taken into Austrian
lines by the renegade Dumouriez. He escaped and made his way
back to Clerfayt's HQ.
He was now given command of a company in the Leib-Bataillon
of his regiment. In 1796 he served in Wurmser's advanced guard.
On 8 August, Colloredo was wounded at the Bregenzer Klause,
in the Tyrol, and was recovering until December of that year,
in which month he was promoted to 3rd Major in his regiment.
In 1798 he transferred as 1st Major to Infantry Regiment vacant
N°60. On 27 May, he led a force, which climbed the heights
of Winterthur (southwest of Lake Constance), defeated the French
garrison and took the bridge at Töss, just southeast of
the city.
In 1800 he was promoted to 2nd Oberst in Infantry Regiment
"vacant Wallis" N°29 on the upper Danube. At one point
he met the corps of the Prinz von Lothringen that was advancing
into action at Klein-Schaffhausen, in Switzerland. He volunteered
to join the fight and led a battalion into Guttenzell in the
enemy's left wing and to victory. For this he was promoted
to command Infantry Regiment Archduke Ferdinand N°2.
In 1805, shortly after his promotion to Major General, Colloredo
commanded a brigade of 5 battalions of grenadiers and 1 of
Gradiscaner Grenzers in Vogelsang's division, Argenteau's corps,
under Archduke Charles in Italy. He fought at Caldiero and
took over the Austrian left wing after Generalmajor von Nordmann
was wounded. He then sent a grenadier battalion to stop the
French crossing the River Etsch (Adige). Renewed French assaults
were made on the Austrian redoubts of Chiavicca del Christo,
in which most of the gunners and the 200 men of Infantry Regiment "Lindenau" N°29
were killed or wounded. Colloredo inspired the survivors to
man the guns and beat off the enemy assaults. As a result,
on 30 October, he was awarded the Military Maria Theresian
Order (KC).
In 1809, Colloredo served in Italy as commander of a brigade
of 3 battalions each of Infantry Regiments "Strassoldo" and "St.
Julien", in Count Albert Gyulai's VIII Corps. On 16 April he
fought in the battle of Sacile (Fontana Fredda), where he held
out alone for five hours against superior French assaults and
secured the Austrian victory. In the night of 29 / 30 April,
he fought at the Soave River and Castel Cerino. He also fought
at the Piave crossing on 8 May and repelled repeated French
cavalry charges. Four days later Colloredo was wounded at Venzone,
but held up the French pursuit for 24 hours. Awarded with the
Commander's Cross of the MMTO, he also fought at Raab on 14
June, after which battle he received his promotion to FML.
At the end of the campaign he was made colonel proprietor of
Infantry regiment N°33.
In 1813 Colloredo initially commanded a division and fought
at Dresden, where he took a French redoubt on the Dippoldiswalde
road and had 3 horses shot from under him. He withdrew his
division on 28 August in best order. At Kulm, he commanded
the allied right wing, captured an enemy artillery park and
then the village of Arbesau thus encircling the enemy. For
this he was promoted Feldzeugmeister on 2 September
and given command of I Corps on 17 September. The Czar presented
him with his Order of St. George (3rd cl.) for his actions
at Kulm. Later a monument was raised to him at Kulm in the
shape of a cast iron pyramid bearing the inscription: "Dem
Feinde furchtbar, den Seinen Theur" (terrible to the enemy,
loved by his own). At Leipzig Colloredo fought on the left
wing. After the Prinz von Hessen-Homburg was wounded and Merveldt
captured, he took over command of the left wing and remained
on the field although he was wounded. On 5 February 1814, he
was wounded again at Troyes and took no further part in the
campaign.
In 1815 he commanded an independent corps on the upper Rhine
but saw no major actions. After the war he was appointed Adlatus to
the Commanding General in Bohemia, later to the CG in Inner
Austria. He died on 23 July 1822 in Vienna.

Biographical
Essay (by Digby Smith)
Josef Maria Graf von Colloredo-Mels und Wallsee entered Austrian
military service in the artillery and fought in the Seven Years
War, during which he was several times distinguished in action.
In 1763, he was promoted to Generalfeldwachtmeister (=
Major General). After his promotion to Feldmarschalleutnant (1771)
Colloredo was charged with command of the border areas with
Turkey. In the war with the Turks in 1778/79 he commanded the
artillery at the siege of Belgrade. In 1778, he was appointed
Director general of the Artillery; he raised the corps of bombardiers
and did much to improve the technical efficiency of this arm.
In 1785 he was promoted to Feldzeugmeister and in 1789
the emperor apponted him to Field Marshal. He became an active
member of the Hofkriegsrat (Aulic War Council) and was
responsible for the abolition of infantry regimental guns and
the formation of field batteries on the French model. He died
in Vienna in 1818.
