Karl von Urban
Karl (Carl) Freiherr von Urban (born 31 August 1802 in Cracovia; died 1 January 1877 in Brno) was an Austrian feldmarschall-leutnant and known as the Austrian Garibaldi for his audacious and decisive actions during the Revolution of 1848 against considerable stronger forces. Early Years and Baptism of Fire 
Karl von Urban was born in Cracovia, at the time part of the Austrian Empire, to a Sudeten German family of officers who served the Imperial Army. In 1813 he enrolled in the army, entering the Cadet Academy of Olmütz. His baptism of fire was in the Battle of Novara in 8 April 1821, which saw an Austrian expeditionary force sent in name of the Holy Alliance to check the Revolution in Piedmont. Revolution of 1848 
In command of a 1,500-strong force of Grenz infantry, Urban was the first commander to make a stand against the Revolution in Hungary, being victorious against the 10,000-strong revolt of the Székelys, and on 18 November 1848 he defeated the insurgents at Klausenburg. Second Italian War of Independence 1959 
During the Italian Campaign of 1859, von Urban commanded the IX. Army Corps, an independent mobile division also known as Division Urban, and was responsible for the only Austrian victories in this war. In no less than four occasions the Austrian Garibaldi fought against the Italian Garibaldi, resulting in a draw of two victories for each commander. In the Battle of Montebello on May 20, the first in the conflict, Karl von Urban faced the French and Sardinian Armies. Despite being outnumbered in men and firepower, von Urban managed to resist the enemy's assaults for almost the entire day, only retreating with the arrival of the Sardinian Cavalry. For his valour and ability displayed during this battle, Von Urban was distinguished with honours by the Emperor Franz Joseph. He was ordered by Ferenc Gyulay to check Garibaldis Alpine Hunters on the Austrian right flank and, due to the Franco-Sardinian advance after the Battle of Magenta and the defeats at the Battle of Varese and San Fermo, von Urban retreated to the Mincio and was changed to defend the rearguard of the retreating Austrian Army. At the Battle of Treponti on June 15, Von Urban defeated Garibaldi, who was pursuing the Austrians. After the Battle of Treponti, von Urban was appointed supreme commander over Verona, the Imperial Headquarters and main fortress of the Quadrilateral, the Austrian strategic defensive system in Italy. Following the Battle of Solferino and the Peace of Villafranca, Karl von Urban was appointed commander of the 4. Army Corps in Brünn, Bohemia. Von Urban committed suicide on 1 January 1877 in Brünn.
