VtwinVince Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I have an award document for the Prussian XXV year LSC dated 1861 to this officer. If anyone has any information on him, it would be appreciated. He was in Brandenburgisches Dragoner-Regiment 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VtwinVince Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 Thanks Andy, much appreciated. He has a rather unusual name, sounds somewhat Norwegian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIR Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hello, I'm not sure - but maybe Thure Ernst Gustav von Kuylenstjerna is from the swedish Kuylenstierna ??? http://books.google.de/books?id=2J4wAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA192&lpg=PA192&dq=von+Kuylenstierna&source=bl&ots=reZ9E6lh8G&sig=JQj81Nn9S2S-2x-AMRxLpPBrGbM&hl=de&ei=2paASu6AFYyHsAbPncjhAg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4#v=onepage&q=&f=false Best regards, Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naxos Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) This is what I found: There are two Officers by the name of Kuylenstjerna in the 1865 Rangliste. One a Hauptmann in an Artillerie-Regiment and the other a Rittmeister in the Kavallerie. Here is the Rittmeister Edited August 11, 2009 by Naxos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
