Santa Anna lost his leg twice. He lost his real leg fighting against the Spanish when Mexico became independent from Spain. Later, US forces narrowly missed capturing Santa Anna, but they did capture his wooden leg which he had abandoned in his coach to escape on horseback. It was often exhibited at state fairs, but is now on display in the Oglesby Mansion (Illinois State Military Museum) in Decatur, Illinois.

What object did General Santa Anna order to be buried with military honors?
HIS LEG - See full explanation below: In 1838, Santa Anna discovered a chance to redeem himself from his Texan loss, when French forces landed in Veracruz, Mexico in the Pastry War, a short conflict which began after Mexico rejected French demands for financial recompense for losses suffered by some French citizens. The Mexican government gave Santa Anna control of the army and ordered him to defend the nation by any means necessary. He engaged the French at Veracruz and, as the Mexican resistance retreated after a failed assault, Santa Anna was hit in the leg and hand by cannon fire. His ankle was shattered and this resulted in the amputation of his leg, which he ordered buried with full military honors. Santa Anna famously used a cork leg after the amputation, but it was captured and kept by American troops during the Mexican-American War. It is on display at the Illinois National Guard Museum in Springfield.
