Biographical
Essay (by Digby Smith)
Konstantin Ghilain Karl Freiherr d'Aspré von Hoobreuk
was born in 1754 (17611) in Gent.
In 1790, as a captain, he was distinguished in putting down
the rebellion in the Austrian Netherlands. On 19 December 1790,
he was awarded the Knight's Cross of the MMTO. During the Campaign
of 1809 he received his promotion to FML (4 May) and shortly
after his appointment to Proprietor of Infantry Regiment N°18,
a post that he held until his death. In this campaign, he commanded
a division, which was defeated by GdD Jean-Pierre-Firmin Malher's
division of Ney's VI Corps at Günzburg on 9 October. His
command was scattered and he was captured. On 2 May 1809, he
commanded the grenadier brigade of GdK Johann Fürst Liechtenstein's
I Reserve Corps. He fought at Aspern and was mortally
wounded at Aderklaa on 6 July; he died shortly afterwards.

Biographical
Essay (by Digby Smith)
Paul Freiherr Davidovich was born in 1737 in Ofen, Hungary.
He entered Austrian military service on 1 February 1757, joining
the Infantry Regiment N°2 "Archduke Ferdinand Carl". He
fought in the Seven Years War and rose to captain. In November
1771, he was promoted to major, in
Infantery Regiment N°19. He
also fought in the War of the Bavarian Succession and was distinguished
on 18 January 1779 in the clash at Habelschwert, Silesia (today:
Bystryca, Poland). For this action he was awarded the Military
Maria Theresian Order (KC) on 19 May 1779, which brought him
elevation to Baron (Freiherr) in 1780. In November 1781,
Davidovich was promoted to lieutenant colonel in Infantry Regiment
N°34 "Anton Esterházy". On 8 November 1783, he was
again promoted, to Oberst and given command of the Peterwardeiner
Grenz Infantry Regiment. He was again in action in the war
against the Turks, and on 24 April 1788, he talked the Turkish
commander of the fortress of Schabatz on the River Save (today:
Sabac, Serbia) into capitulating. He then took command of the
place.
In 1789 Davidovich was in the Austrian Netherlands helping
FML Graf Baillet de Latour to put down the rebellion there.
In 1790 he was promoted to major general. During the first
years of the Revolutionary Wars, he fought in the Austrian
Netherlands and northern France.
In 1794 he was again in the Netherlands under Sachsen-Coburg.
The following year he served on the middle Rhine under
GdK Graf Wurmser and fought in the successful siege of
Mannheim, which fell on 22 November. On 4 March 1796, at
the age of 59, he was promoted Feldmarschalleutnant and
accompanied Wurmser from the upper Rhine down to Italy
in June to relieve Mantua. He commanded the left column
(the Corps of the Tyrol) in the advance down the Etsch
(Adige) to Rivoli on 29 July. His column of two brigades
(Meszaros and Mittrowsky) did not come into action before
the Austrian defeat at Castiglione on 5 August. For the
second attempt, Davidovich was to hold the Tyrol with 20,000
men. Wurmser was to advance down the River Brenta with
26,000 and seek combat. When the French turned on Wurmser,
Davidovich was to come down the Etsch in their rear with "an
appropriate force" to bring them to a battle, or at least
keep them out of the Tyrol. Davidovich's corps consisted
of the divisions of Reuss and Vukassovich, the Reserve
at Roveredo and the brigades of Grösser and Loudon.
By some mischance, Napoleon came to know the Austrian plan
and mounted a pre-emptive strike at Davidovich. On 4 September
Massena and Vaubois attacked Reuss and Vukassovich and
drove them onto Davidovich and out of Roveredo with the
loss of 3,000 men and 25 guns. On 5 September Massena entered
Trient and Davidovich was pushed from behind the River
Lava to Neumarkt up the Etsch. That evening he was forced
to go further north to Neumarkt.
After Wurmser's defeat on 15 September 1796, at San Giorgio
and La Favorita, Davidovich's command at Malborghetto,
Pontafel and Tarvis numbered only 13,600 men, but four
weeks later it had increased to 20,000. Alvinczy was now
given command of the army and ordered to make a third attempt
to relieve Mantua. His plan was that Quosdanovich's Corps
of the Friaul was to take Bassano on the Brenta, while
Davidovich's Corps of the Tyrol was to seize Trient on
the Etsch.
Davidovich was ordered then to move to join up with Alvinczy –
who was with Quosdanovich's corps – so as to unite
before the critical battle. No advance by Alvinczy over
the Etsch would be made until he received confirmation
from Davidovich that he had cleared the enemy out of that
valley.
Napoleon ordered GdD Charles-Henri Vaubois to drive the
Austrians to his front further back up the Etsch; he assaulted
Davidovich at San Michele on 2 November, but was beaten
next day by him and pushed back south through Trient to
Calliano. Here Vaubois was again attacked on 6 and 7 November
and forced to retreat as far south as Rivoli. Davidovich
advanced only as far south as Serravalle ala Adige and
stopped there – for unknown reasons - until 16 November.
At last he advanced again, and, on 16 and 17 November,
threw Vaubois (who was now without Guieu's brigade) out
of Rivoli. Here Vaubois lost 1,800 men and 7 guns. On 18
November the opponents were around Castelnuovo, level with
the southern end of Lake Garda.
Davidovich's tardy advance to aid Alvinczy against Napoleon
(despite receiving three direct orders to do so) cost the
Austrians the defeat of Arcole. On 22 November he was beaten
by Napoleon at Rivoli and then chased northwards up the
River Etsch.
In 1805 Davidovich commanded the left wing of the army
in Italy and fought at Caldiero. In the previous year,
he had been appointed Proprietor of Infantry Regiment N°34.
In 1805 he was appointed Adlatus of the Commanding General
of Slavonia and on 28 May 1807, he was promoted to Feldzeugmeister.
In 1809 he was Commanding General of the Hungarian Insurrection
on the west Bank of the Danube. He died on 18 February
1814, as governor of Komorn.

Joseph von Dedovich was born in 1752. As major general
he commanded a brigade in Vukassovich's division in northwestern
Italy in early 1800. He took no part in the siege of Genoa
and did not serve at Marengo. In 1805, he again commanded
