Another New Cavalry Unit in Hesse Seewald Service



The Kronprinz Friedrich horse grenadiers (Minden Miniatures Austrian Horse Grenadiers)


Today, His Royal Highness, King Georg Ludwig, is pleased to announce that the Saxe-Gotha horse grenadier cavalry regiment has been transferred from service in the Duke of Gotha to that of Hesse Seewald. It seems that the Duke had to settle some gambling debts with the King, and so the regiment passed into Hesse Seewald service to settle those debts.

The unit will be renamed the Kronprinz Friedrich regiment of dragoons. The Hesse Seewald cavalry establishment allows its inhabers some latitude in uniform details, so tricorns or bearskin hats, they are all considered to be "dragoons", which are still heavy cavalry regiments.

King Georg Ludwig is quite pleased with his newest acquisition.
