sachson Infantry Regiment 107

[David M]

Hi

I am currently transcribing the diary of Oberst Michael Schuch and I am looking for the name of the commanding officer of the sachson regiment 107 in the Franco-Prussian War 1870-71. And possible further careerdata.

Thanks a lot

David

David,

the Regiment had two commanding Officers during the Franco-German War. The first, Oberst Edmund v. Schweinitz was killed in action on 18 July 1870 at St. Privat. He was replaced by Oskar Freiherr v. Lindemann who commanded the regiment until retiring on 23 February 1873.

Regards

Glenn
