專家說明

The manuscript relates the history of Alexander von Lüders (1790-1874) with the precise dates of his numerous deeds, achievements and subsequent rewards.

Count Alexander von Lüders was born to a German noble family that moved to Russia in the middle of the 18th century. He participated in the Napoleonic Wars and was wounded in the Battle of Kulm in 1813. During the Crimean War (1854-1856) he commanded the Army South operating in the middle Danube region. From November 1861 to June 1862 Count von Lüders held the position of Viceroy of the Kingdom of Poland.
