Good morning ! In his BTB entry Friedrich August v. BOHLEN is mentioned as a russian GM. Couldnot find anything on the web to confirm this, so I am hoping s.o. here might be able to tell me more.... My sources up to know mention him as a kurhessian SecLt in the Garde Regiment, 1806 following his father into Baden militairy service (from 1807-1816) and probably lateron russian service? His brother, Lev Leontievich Bolen, was a russian GLt, Senator and Divisional commander (1783-1855). Thanks David

Ok. Not what I meant. Try again. There should be data on him in the card system Here

Did you already look him up here

So many well known families and people on one page ! Great this particular officer gets some attention

Very sparsely awarded. Not often to men of his rank. Remember he was 35 in 1866. A bit young to have been already decorated. At least to kurhess. standards

Thats the SEHO3

Would love to know the source you used especially the last sentence.

Hi! I stumbled upon this on the website of the database of the museum in Kassel. Could you point in the direction of ID-ing this fellow? Thanks a lot David

Great work! Really appreciated

The story goes there house in Bretterode was badly insolated or very humid and thats the reason half the kids did.not make it. I met HVF (last of the original line of his family) 25 years ago, very kind old man who I am sure is no longer with us. The story of his family is one starting off so long ago and producing so many military officers, a.o. an Oberst and Cavalrycommander during the 1813-1815 wars.

Good afternoon, Does any body know if there are Offiziers-Stammliste of bavarian regiments going back to around 1815?

How interesting! How did you get by them? Are you related?

Great work Alex keep it up
