In the past hundred years, until Au-
gust, 1914, only ffD.elght members
had been thus admitted To the order,
and at the beginning Of the war in
1914 there were but three knights left,
all of the third and lowest class. One
was the Emperor Francis Joseph. who
won the cross In 1s4s on the battlefield
OF Santa Lucia against the Italians.
The second was the Duke OF Cumber-
land, father Of the sovereign Duke OF
Brunswick. who received the cross for
gallantry at the battle of Langensalza,
where as crown prince OF Hanover he
helped his father, the blind King
George, 10 direct the operations OF his
troops. The third was Prince Alphonse
de Bourbon. claimant TO the throne OF
the two Sicilies and popularity known
as the Count Of Caserta He won his
cross by the part he played in the SUI
