Hessian in danish service

[David M]

Hi

 

I am researching some hessian officers who were also in danish service. I am looking for additional information on the danish service of:

 

Friedrich Wilhelm Carl Ludwig von Hessen-Philippsthal-Barchfeld (1786-1834)

1817 Generalmajor und Chef des Leib-Regiments.

 

Wilhelm Kurprinz von Hessen (1777-1847)

1783 Oberst a la suote, 1788 Generalmajor der Infanterie.

 

Any help greatly appreciated

Not sure how good your Danish is, but some info about the military career of the first is found here:

362 (Dansk biografisk Lexikon / V. Bind. Faaborg - Gersdorff) (runeberg.org)

Great Dane!

Thanks so much, i was kind of hoping on exact dates of promotion and in which Regiments he was as a Rittmeister, Major, Oberstlieutenant.

 

Any other sources you could direct me to?
