I have a Waterloo medal named to Johann Siebrecht of the Brunswick Leib-Battalion (Brunswick Corps or 92nd Brunswick Infantry Regiment). Research tells me that Johann Siebrecht was killed in action, at the Battle of Waterloo, on 18th June 1815, and that he was from Meinbrexen. Sadly, this is all I know about Johann Siebrecht.

Research also tells me that two other Siebrecht's (also from Meinbrexen) were killed or wounded during the Napoleonic wars in the period 1811-1812 (in Wesphalian service ...perhaps with the French army?). These 2 men are:

1. Ludwig Siebrecht, a 'Schmied' (a metal smith) with the "Ouvriers-Kom";
2. Wilhelm Bernhard Siebrecht, a Soldat (Private soldier) with the 3rd Battalion, Feld Regiment.

I have no idea if the 3 men are related, but it seems likely - i.e. all with the same surname and living in Meinbrexen around the same time.

I would love to hear from anyone who can shed some light on the relationship between the 3 men, but obviously my main interest is in Johann Siebrecht.

Also, if anyone knows either of the two military units mentioned (Ouvriers-Kom & 3rd Bn, Feld-Regt)...it would be great to hear what you know.

Many thanks, in anticipation...
