Ostuf Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 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?

GreyC Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 (edited) Hi, I read Badieker, but might be proven wrong. Can you post the whole page or document, please? GreyC Edited February 24, 2018 by GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyC Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 (edited) ...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.

Glenn J Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I too am rather reluctant to respond to requests containing a fragment of information and/or containing disfiguration. Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
