Sweden Hauptmann von Uggla, Swedish Life Guard

[IR 134]

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

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.
