First, congrats Phil! Well done sir and you have done alot to deserve this.

Second, on Dierk's comment:

Good call Dierk. Often you see Kavallerie spelled:

Cavalerie
Kavalerie
and even Cavalery!

The Napoleon Guide is pretty trustworthy.

Bowden in his 1809 work "Armies on the Danube" used Cavalerie but also noted that the abbreviation could be GdC or GdK.

Probably where the error got started as I was the creator of the Austrian army and perhaps noone really looked hard at that rank before.

My many thanks to all of you fine gentlemen (yes and even the French) for your kind words.

The next round is on me as I have liberated some fine Cognac from a Froggie Hussar at Aspern-Essling.

Long Live the Kaiser!
