During
this period the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy was involved in two major wars: The
Franco-Austrian or Second War of Italian Independence of 1859 and the
Austro-Prussian War of 1866 which also saw the Monarchy again fighting in Italy
against a now unified Italian army. Additionally the army was involved in
policing its gains in the Balkans and the occupation of Bosnia in the 1860s and
1870s and these actions also
resulted in the award of a small number of Military Maria Theresa Orders. By the
outbreak of the First World War only three living persons still possessed the
Order including Kaiser Franz Josef as the Grand Master of the Order and two
foreign Knights: Alphons Graf von Caserta and Ernst Duke of Cumberland. The last
surviving Austro-Hungarian Knight had been General der Infanterie Géza Freiherr
Fejérváry de Komlás-Keresztes who died on the 25th of April 1914 having won
his order for actions as a General Staff captain at the battle of Solferino in
1859. The Promotions during this period ran from Number 158 on the 17th October
1859 to Number 170 on 2nd May 1879. The awards are listed by Promotion or award
date and grade.
