Lets party with Cossacks | 09 Oct 2014 4:12 p.m. PST |
Ok so the cgsc Nafziger resource tells me that these regiments comprised part of the XI corps, 32rd Div (7th) and 34th (3rd to 6th)and gives battalion numbers and strengths, but I was unsure about the company make up for each – were they organised along the French 1V, 1G, 4 line co basis? How was the 4th organised which seems to have had a Lt bttn, and how was that btth organised? Where were the 1st & 2nd (I think Frankfurters)at this time? (couldn't find them – Spain perhaps?) I can feel the pull of the Perry Confereration of the Rhein figs and am likely to surrender to it soon to add to my Poles, and wanted to do them 1:33 (ok so I can't rid myself of that Bruce Qarrie thing) with some rough accuracy. The Perry organisational info is Spain 1809, so things may have changed in 1812-14. Any help from the enormous brains trust out there would be very much appreciated! |

If you are interested in the 4th Regiment (Saxon Duchies) during 1812 (and can make it through the Gothic German), there is a regimental history available on Google: Geissler's 1840 work "Geschichte des Regiments Herzoge zu Sachsen unter Napoleon mit der großen Armee im rußischen Feldzuge 1812" link In early 1812, it contained and was located as follows: Das Herzogliche Sächsische Regiment war die Dislocation in Stralsund: 1) der Regimentsstab, wobei Dr. Haßkarl; 2) das 1. Bataillon, vollständig, nämlich 4 Compagnieen Gotha-Altenburger, 1 Compagnie Meininger unter Capitän von Buttler und 1 Compagnie Coburger unter Capitatn von Alvensleben, mit den Gothaischen Chirurgen Stötzer, Schlemmunddem Coburgischen Chirurgen Friedland; 4) der Stab des leichten Bataillons — Weimar-Hildburghausen – wobei Dr. Mirus mit der neu errichteten Carabinier-Compagnie und Chirurg Ernst; b) auf den Inseln Usedom und Wollin: das 2. Bataillon vollständig, nämlich: 4 Compagnieen Gotha-Altenburger, 1 Compagnie Meininger unter Capitän von Donop und 1 Compagnie Coburger unter Capitän von Wangenheim, wobei Dr. Güttig – Meiningen – die Gothaischen Chirurgen Kunkely, Günther und der Coburg. Chirurg Brodhag und endlich c) auf der Insel Rügen: 4 Compagnieen des leichten Bataillons, nämlich 3 Compagnieen Weimar-Eisenacher unter Capitän von Germar, wobei die Chirurgen Rüdiger und Geißler und 1 Compagnie Hildburghäuser unter Capitän von Münch, mit dem Chirurgen Böschner. |

Wow. Firstly thanks DR X; now realize that should have been my first reference. And thanks Ralpher. Went to school in Lubeck in 1976 – as they were probably were speaking gothic german back then I might be in with a chance. Any other tips on napoleonic web resources re these regiments would always be welcome! |
