    What regiment(s) was the Czar honorary C&C of?

    I don't know if this will help you or not since you asked for infantry regiments. The Czar was honorary C&C of the 8th Hussar Regiment and the Czarina the honorary C&C of the 2nd Garde Dragoons.

    German =

    Prussian Guard Grenadier Regiment 1

    Prussian Guard Dragoon Regiment 2

    Prussian Curassier Regiment 6

    Prussian Hussar Regiment 8

    Bavarian 1st Light Horse Regiment

    Hessian Life Dragoons Regiment 24

    Paul,

    he was the Chef of the:

    Kaiser Alexander Garde-Grenadier-Regiment Nr. 1

    K?rassier-Regiment Kaiser Nikolaus I. von Ru?land (Brandenb.) Nr. 6

    Husaren-Regiment Kaiser Nikolaus II. von Ru?land (1. Westf?l.) Nr. 8

    and Inhaber of the

    Leib-Dragoner-Regiment (2. Gro?herzogl. Hess.) Nr. 24

    1. Chevaulegers-Regiment Kaiser Nikolaus von Ru?land

    so it would appear the only infantry regiment was the Kaiser Alexander Garde-Grenadier-Regiment Nr. 1.

    Regards

    Glenn

    Well in German Inhaber means Owner. Logically thinking if your an owner of a regiment, that regiment receives your name because you own it. Chef is the commander of the unit. One Senior General/GFM or member of the Royal family could have been made commander as honoray title, but still is not the owner of the regiment and the regiment doesn't bear his name.

    These are all assumptions of mine... are they correct?

    Ciao,

    I am tracing out a bar and need to know what Prussian Infantry Regiments was the Russian Czar honorary C&C of? Was he also C&C of an Wurttmebrg, Saxon or bayern regiments? Thanks.

    Hallo Paul, :beer:

    dont know if it has any connection with your post, but the Czar of Russia was also connected to a Romanian Regiment & King Ferdinand of Romania was Commander of a Russian Regiment!!

    Some details can be sent if interested.
