1. Husaren Regiment, 1859

[Ostuf]

Hi Guys, I found in this document dated April 1859, an Oberst signature, as Commandeur des Regiments.

The commanders in those years were (from http://www.danzig-online.pl/husaren/leibhusare.html): 

• 1856 v. Blumenthal
• 1860 v. Eckartsberg

Now, Who is the Oberst signing the document?

Hi,

I read Badieker, but might be proven wrong. Can you post the whole page or document, please?

This is the whole document

...and with it comes the solution, I think. That´s why it is helpful to post all information available with the first post. It would have saved me time and effort.

This is not the Prussian Husaren-Leibregiment from Danzig, it´s the Hessian Husaren-Leibregiment from Hofgeismar. Hessen was an independant state and did not have anything to do military-wise with Prussia until after the war of 1866 in which the Hessians were on the loosing end.

After 1866 the 1st Hessian Husaren Leibregiment became the 1. Hessisches Husaren-Regiment Nr. 13 of the Prussian Army.

So you will have to find a Hessian Rank List of 1859 or the respective

Kurfürstlich Hessisches Hof- und Staatshandbuch.

I too am rather reluctant to respond to requests containing a fragment of information and/or containing disfiguration.
