Early Life

Born on October 16, 1710 in Kőszeg to a Hungarian family of lesser nobility, he volunteered for the Ghilányi-hussar regiment when he was 20, at 22 he was given the rank of officer and became the standard bearer in the Dessewffy-hussar regiment in the Austrian army. Hadik fought in the War of Polish Succession (1733 - 1735) and the Russo-Turkish War of 1735 - 1739. In 1738 Hadik was promoted to the rank of captain. During the War of Austrian Succession (1740 - 1748) he gained fame for his actions against the Prussians at the city of Neisse using surprise attacks and tricks under the unwritten laws of the so-called "small war," relying on the excellent qualification of his hussars. During the war he was again promoted, this time to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel by Maria Theresa, the Queen of Hungary and Archduchess of Austria. In 1744 he gained the rank of Commanding Colonel of his own hussar regiment, then near the end of the war in 1747 he attained the rank of General and was appointed commander of a cavalry brigade.
