General Schleppegrell, killed in the Battle of Id Tadt [Isted], 1850. Portrait from a drawing by M. Baugniet. 'This gallant soldier, who fell in the late battle of Idstadt, on the 25th ult., was the favourite of the Danish army, and contributed chiefly to the total defeat of the Schleswig-Holsteiners in the storming their entrenchments at Fredericia. He was a truly brave man, and met with the death of a hero whilst leading on his gallant soldiers to victory'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
