.
The powerful See also:influence which he commanded, through his See also:father and his wife (nee Countess See also:Marie Philippine v
.
Martinitz), advanced the See also:young officer through the subordinate grades so rapidly that at the See also:age of twenty-nine he was See also:colonel of an See also:infantry See also:regiment
.
But he justified his See also:early promotion in the field, and in the See also:Italian See also:campaign of 1734 he greatly distinguished himself
.
In the Tirolese fighting of 1735, and in the unfortunate See also:Turkish See also:war, he won further distinction as a See also:general officer
.
He was a See also:lieutenant field marshal in command of the Silesian garrisons when in 1740 See also:Frederick II. and the Prussian army overran the See also:province
.
His careful employment of such resources as he possessed materially hindered the See also:- KING

He was See also:present at Mollwitz, where he received a severe See also:wound

His vehement opposition to all See also:half-hearted See also:measures brought him frequently into conflict with his superiors, but contributed materially to the unusual See also:energy displayed by the Austrian armies in 1742 and 1743

In the following See also:campaigns Browne exhibited the same qualities of generalship and the same impatience of See also:control
.
In 1745 he served under See also:Count See also:Traun, and was promoted to the rank of Feldzeugmeister
