Olivier, Count of Wallis
Oliver Remigius, Count von Wallis Baron von Carrighmain, the scion of a distinguished Irish family in Austrian military service, served in Austria's wars with the Ottoman Empire (1787–1791), and in the French Revolutionary Wars (1791–1800). He died of wounds received in action at the First Battle of Zürich.
== Family and youth ==
Oliver Remigius was born on 1 October 1742 into an Irish emigrant family living in the Habsburg empire. During the 17th century, laws introduced in Ireland limited, and eventually removed, authority from the Catholic aristocracy, preventing Catholics from inheriting land, sitting in Parliament, and holding office. Many immigrated to Central Europe and sought service in the Habsburg military.〔 Ebert, Jens-Florian. ("Wallis, Olivier Remigus, Count von." ) ''Die Österreichischen Generäle 1792–1815.'' Accessed 15 October 2009.〕 One ancestor, Richard Wallis, or Walsh, as he had been known in Ireland, emigrated with his family in 1612, and was a colonel in the Habsburg military. He was killed at the Battle of Lützen in 1632. Another ancestor of Oliver Remigius, George Olivier, Count von Wallis (son of Richard), also served in the Habsburg military during the Thirty Years War under Wallenstein.〔Julius Stanka, Major, ''Geschichte des K. und K.

Wallis and his older brother Michael Johann Ignaz were both intended for military service. As a young man, Wallis entered his father's regiment, the 11th Infantry, and from 1769–1777, he commanded it.〔Franz Wenzel, Count Wallis von Karighmain (4 October 1696 - 14 January 1774) was a Knight of the Golden Fleece and from 1739–1774 Proprietor and Colonel of the 11th Infantry Regiment, known as the ''Franz Graf von Wallis''.

In the wars against the Turks (1787–92) he served under Field Marshal Ernst Gideon von Laudon and, later, Count von Charles Joseph de Croix, Count of Clerfayt. In 1787, he was promoted to Lieutenant Field Marshal, and in 1791, as Colonel-Proprietor of the 29th Infantry Regiment,〔Smith, "Wallis." ''Napoleon Series''.〕 which bore his name until 1802.〔Ebert.
