Although at present I can't locate a newspaper report of Prince Anton's death there was a published letter dated 4 July 1866 from the King of Prussia to his wife relating to the "Battle of Königgrätz" of 3 July 1866. In this letter he said that "Anton of Hohenzollern has four bullets in his leg; I have not heard how he is to-day. He is said to have displayed extraordinary bravery."
6.5	Prince	Friedrich of Hohenzollern	1843	1904	Princess	Louise of Thurn and Taxis	1859	1948	See 24.4631
6.6	Princess	Marie of Hohenzollern	1845	1912	Prince	Phillippe of Belgium (Count of Flanders)	1837	1905	See 14.3 - Phillippe was considered as a candidate for Prince of Roumania but declined the offer

Note - QVD against a reference number indicates the first named individual is a descendant of Queen Victoria.
