About Graf Johann "Hans" August von Blumenthal
Hans August von Blumenthal commanded Frederick the Great's famous Gardes du Corps, which his brother, Friedrich, had founded. Hans won the Pour le Mérite at Hohenfriedberg. He had to leave the army after being wounded leading his regiment in a successful cavalry charge at the Battle of Lobositz during the Seven Years' War. Von Blumenthal had his horse shot down and received a crippling sabre-blow in the neck.
He was later made a Count and supervised the education of Frederick William III's brother, Prince Henry.
