Christian Julius de Meza, Major-General, and Commander-in-Chief of the Danish Artillery, 1850. Creator: Unknown.

Christian Julius de Meza, Major-General, and Commander-in-Chief of the Danish Artillery, 1850. Portrait of Danish military leader Christian de Meza. 'His favourite horse, which had borne him through all the previous engagements, having received several wounds, he dismounted, and under the melancholy impression that he had lost the faithful animal for ever, he commenced writing a report to the Commander-in-Chief. When, therefore, this being concluded, the horse was brought back to him refreshed and strengthened, he was so overcome by emotion that he threw his arms round the neck of the animal, and gave it an affectionate kiss...Notwithstanding his chivalrous bravery, General de Meza has escaped unhurt from every engagement in which he has taken part; but at the battle of Idstedt, the favourite charger, mentioned above, was shot under him...', From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
