Other than Wurzbach (which has quite a bit) and Wikiwakipedia (from which we learn that his soldiers helped extinguish a bakery fire on the Isle of Wight--SOS: Save Our Scones!)...can any fellow Forum members offer any detail on Count Ferdinand Ernst Gabriel von Waldstein (sometime bureaucrat, soldier and patron of Beethoven?

Given his long association with Great Britain (attempts to raise a light infantry outfit, for instance, and apparently holding the rank of colonel in British service), thought perhaps there might be more on this gentleman.

Thanks in advance!
