    Hauptmann von Uggla, Swedish Life Guard


    Recommended Posts

    Good morning everybody!

    The former saxon officer Vieth von Golßenau alias Ludwig Renn names in his book "Adel im Untergang" this swedish officer who was commmanded for duty-service to the saxon Leib-Grenadier-Regiment 100 Dresden in ca. 1912-1913. Can someone give me further details of him?

    Many thanks.

    Gruß Stefan

    P.S. found this in the Sverige statskalender 1915: Carl Gustafsson Uggla, captain in Nr. 1 Royal Swedish Life Guard Infantry.

    I have more info but if it's the German connection you want here's some:

    1909-1910 Service at "sachs. livgrenadj:reg n:r 100"

    1916-1917 At the Bavarian "dåpåtrupperna" (supply troops?)

    Later in life he was regimental commander of the Skaraborg regiment. I count six photos available at SVAR. I also found him at runeberg, but with the common short spelling G:son, top left side.

    Good evening Kim,

    that is exactly the info i´m searching for.

    Thank you very very much. What is your source?

    Is the SVAR the swedish states archive?

    Viele Grüße

    Stefan

    SVAR can be found here: http://sok.riksarkivet.se/krigsarkivets-portrattsamlingar . It's a pay service but free at all libraries (at least the Swedish ones I think).

    The other info is from part one of HJS Klebergs book "Kungl. Svenska Riddarordnarna" printed 1935. G:son Uggla was commander of order of the Sword and knight of the order of the polar star. But he didn't have any German orders, at least any listed.
