Infanterie-Regiment "Freiherr von Klebeck" No. 14 The death of the Polish king August II in 1733 and the eruption of the Polish Succession War in Austria was obliged to enlist new troops. With instruction by Emperor Charles VI on the 4th November 1733, President of the presented Hofkriegsrat , Prince Eugene of Savoy a Bestallungsbrief for Truppenaushebungen to the colonels and thus first Colonel owner Nikolaus Leopold Count von Salm was elected. He received the order to set up a regiment off 2300 men. This regiment was called initally the "van Salm". In 1769, the current practice to designate the regiments after their owner has been supplemented by a continuous numbering. The regiment was given the number 14. The serving as a distinctive badge color was supplied in 1748 which was blue and was then changed to black. After the Peace of Teschen which was in 1779, Austria was defeated, the regiment No.14 first came to Upper Austria. It was after Linz and Braunau the regiment was garrisoned. Linz was first training  and supplying the District Infantry Regiment No.14th There was an interesting description of Austrian infantry published in Putnam's Monthly. "The great confusion of nationalities is a serious evil. In the British army, every man can at least speak English, but with the Austrians, even the NCOs of the non-German regiments can scarcely speak German. This creates, of course, a deal of confusion, difficulty, and interpreting, even between the officer and the soldier. It is partly remedied by the necessity in which frequent change of quarters places the officers of learning at least something of every language spoken in Austria. But yet, the inconvenience is not obviated... The infantry, and in this respect it is similar to the English [infantry], is more distinguished by its action in masses [lines], than by its agility in light infantry service. We must, however, except the frontier troops (Grenzers) and the jagers. The first are; for the most part, very efficient in skirmishing, especially the Serbians, whose favorite warfare is one of ambuscades. The jagers are mainly Tyroleans, and first-rate marksmen. But the German and Hungarian infantry generally impose by their solidity, and ... have more than once received cavalry, in line, without deigning to form square, and wherever they have formed squares, the enemy's cavalry could seldom break them up - witness Aspern." The 'German' regiments were the best trained and disciplned part of the infantry. "German sense of duty caused them to rally after lost battle to fight again." Perhaps the most important of the reforms carried out by Archduke Charles was the new Dienst-Reglemet. It aimed to humanize discipline and raise troop morale by better treatment. It sharply condemned brutality. The introduction of the code was accompanied by a shortened term or conscription.  The enlistments were 6 years for infantrymen and 10 for cavalrymen. According to John Stallaert "Training was inconsistent; whereas the regulars were well-disciplined, numbers of untrained men were often present in units enlarged to wartime establishment, and the usual parsimony hindered practice. For example, in 1805 Archduke Ferdinand reported, "Since many of the newly-arrived troops have still to be trained in musketry, I approve the issue of six live rounds to be fired by every such man"! Though an isolated case, the evidence of an exercise before the Emperor at Minkendorf, in which cavalry and grenadiers actually began to fight each other, leaving 3 dead and 60 wounded, does not reflect well either upon the central command nor upon methods of training ! " As an army the Austrians lost more battles than won. In general the bigger was the tactical unit the greater chance was for the French to win. French army, corps and even division was better trained in large scale maneuvers and had more battle experience than the Austrian army and corps. The individual Austrian line regiments however were reliable and some fought with great tenacity and bravery. The individual Austrian soldier was well trained and far more disciplined than the Frenchman. There is much exaggeration about the "poor Austrians". The white-coats enjoyed many successes on regimental level (but less on brigade and divisional levels). Noted than the In 1809 at Neumarkt the 14th Regiment {Austrians} attacked French cavalry with bayonet.

The 93e Régiment d'Infanterie was involved in more battles than any other regiment in the French army. During the Napoleonic Wars the regiment fought in 76 battles and earned 3 Battle Honors. The regiment was involved in combat ranging from Italy and Spain to Russia and Germany. The regiment took part in some of the greatest battles of Napoleon's era such as Essling, Wagram, Borodino, Dresden and Waterloo. So intensely involved was the regiment that it even fought as marines during the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. After its historic efforts at Essling, the regiment was praised by Napoleon, exclaiming, "You see that there is nothing impossible with such men". From this, the regiment got its motto "To such men, nothing is impossible!" From 1797 to 1800, the regiment was a major contributer to the war in Italy against Austria. It fought bravely during the campaign and took part in all of the major battles. After this it was stationed at Rochefort, guarding the harbor island of Aix. From 1804 to 1806, the 93e became the garrison of marines for the boats that it had guarded. During this time it fought at the famous Battle of Trafalgar, not many other regiments can say they had such an honor. Napoleon's march on Russia saw the 93e Ligne yet again off to war. All battalions were reformed and marched forward with the rest of the army. The fighting was hard yet the regiment managed to fight through Borodino before reaching Moscow. Coming under heavy fire from Russian cannons at Borodino, the regiment advanced against the Russian infantry, taking a couple standards and losing a fair amount men before being forced to withdraw by the Russian cossacks. After Moscow the regiment retreated with the rest of the army yet survived enough to still be effective in the following campaigns in Germany. The regiment decisively participated in the battles of Dresden, Leipzig and Hanau in 1813 before continuing to fight valiantly in France until Napoleon's abdication. During the "Hundred Days" the regiment was re-organised and marched into Belgium. There the 93e Ligne fought at Quatre Bras putting up a steady defence before having to fall back. The next day, the regiment was then heavily involved in a lot of fighting at Waterloo. After the defeat, the regiment retreated back to Laon and took up positions, ready to defend the capital. There it stayed until Napoleon's final abdication, marking an end to the regiments history during the Napoleonic Wars. Afterwards the regiment remained and took part in many Wars fighting in both World Wars. Officiers Col. Nicolas Marchal | Crumpet Maj. Gaston Dimont | Sandman Lt.

We believe spending the time and helping them perform up to standard does not just help the regiment but build a strong friendship between players and the community.

"I appointed the Colonel commanding the 4th regiment, one of the most distinguished body's of the army and that is always in the most perilous positions. They have never lost their standard and frequently brought or decided the victory". "We cannot give to much praise to the Grenadiers... the 4th maintained it's high reputation" "The 4th Crosses the river in water up to their belts, the Colonel head of the brave 4th continues across.

27th at Waterloo

Wellington later said, ‘They (the 27th) saved the centre of my line at Waterloo’. Napoleon Bonaparte is quoted as saying, 'I have seen Russian, Prussian and French bravery, but anything to equal the stubborn bravery of the regiment with castles in their caps I never before witnessed'. The Inniskillings was the only Irish infantry regiment to take part in the Battle of Waterloo. On 16 June, the Inniskillings under Major John Hare marched 70 kilometres in 28 hours in pouring rain to join the main Army, occupying a position 1200 metres behind the Allied line near Mont St Jean. The regiment arrived on the battlefield about 1100 hours, part of the 6th Brigade, in reserve, under Major General Sir John Lambert. Soaked from the torrential rain overnight, the Inniskillings would doubtless have been pleased at this respite in reserve to attempt to dry out their uniforms and equipment, and clean their muskets. They would have been tired and hungry. It was over three hours before they were moved into the front line in a key position in the centre of Wellington’s line of battle. There, they were on the forward slope of the ridge, in a very exposed position. The hours between 1600 and 1800 hours were particularly horrendous. During heavy fighting earlier on 18 June, the Allied line was broken and the Inniskillings moved forward to a crucial spot where the road from Brussels to Charleroi crossed the Allied line behind La Haye Sainte. For the rest of the day there was no respite from attacks by French snipers, cavalry and artillery. The 27th (Inniskilling) Regiment of Foot's killed and wounded amounted to 486 out of a total of 747 - the highest casualties of any British regiment. When only one officer remained standing, the neighbouring 40th Regiment offered to lend them some officers, to which Major Hare, the commanding officer, replied, 'The Sergeants like to command the companies and I would be loathe to deprive them of the honour'.

Confederates / 4th Kentucky Volunteer Infantry - Orphan Brigade

« on: June 22, 2015, 10:08:42 pm »

Seeing of the Elephant

Trabue advanced the Brigade across a small clearing and into a woodline, where he observed the Federals forming line across a stream bed. The regiments changed front to meet the enemy squarely (necessary by the tactics of the day), and in the process, the Yankees were ready first. The Fourth Kentucky found itself opposite the Forty-sixth Ohio Infantry, who fired a hasty volley over the heads of the Kentuckians. Now Major Monroe's long hours of drill paid off as the Fourth completed its maneuver and took careful aim at the Federals, only seventy yards away. Monroe's drill field voice rang out with the commands "Fire by battalion! Ready, Aim, ... Fire!" The Kentuckians' volley was deadly, and the Ohio troops suffered their greatest losses of the day here (you can read about this action today on the monument of the Forty-sixth Ohio, erected on this spot on the battlefield).  The Orphans kept their fire up, and soon the losses among the Ohioans were so severe that Monroe, seeing their lines waver, ordered a bayonet charge. With the shrill Rebel Yell streaming from their throats, the boys from Green County charged across the ravine and into the Federals, who broke and ran for the rear. Elated with their victory, the Orphans moved forward and through the abandoned Yankee camps. They had indeed "seen the elephant" (Civil War slang for going into combat for the first time), and had come out on top.

Fourth's finest hour This drill competition was the highlight of the spring for the Orphans, and it clinched their reputation for excellence. Each of the Kentucky regiments competed against a regiment from Gen. Adams' Louisiana Brigade, the Fourth Kentucky beating the Nineteenth Louisiana on 21 May. Each of the Orphan regiments handily defeated its rival, until the Ninth Kentucky was slated to compete on 22 May. Unfortunately, marching orders for the Orphan Brigade arrived on that day, and the competition was never finished. However, there was no doubt in the Kentuckians' minds who the drill champions were. As he had the previous summer, Breckinridge took his division to Mississippi, this time to help relieve the siege of Vicksburg. However, the reinforcements were too late to save the city, which surrendered on the Fourth of July. The Confederates fell back to Jackson, where they were attacked by Gen. Sherman in mid-July. The Fourth Kentucky was not heavily engaged, and Company F lost no casualties. But disease continued to thin the ranks of the Green Countians as W.W. Woodring was discharged due to disability in May, and Martin L. Davis died of disease in September. Various misunderstandings delayed the dawn assault, but Breckinridge ordered the attack at 9:00 a.m. The Orphans charged forward, filling the woods with the wild Rebel yell. They struck the Federal works at an angle, at a place marked today in Chickamauga National Military Park by a painting showing their attack. The Fourth and Sixth regiments, being on the right of the Orphans' line, passed by the log defenses and met their enemy in the open. In the area of the Kentucky Monument in the park, the Fourth Kentucky emerged from the woods and charged the Federal Fifteenth Kentucky, routing them and capturing two cannons of Bridges' Illinois Battery. It was one of the Fourth's finest hours, as the men joyfully jumped astride their captured prizes and turned them on the fleeing enemy.

Regiments / 79th Regiment of Foot - Cameron Highlanders[EU]

« on: March 29, 2015, 11:01:42 pm »

Regimental History The regiment was formed at the height of the French Revolutionary Wars, and moved to the Netherlands in 1794 where it took part in an unsuccessful campaign, before being evacuated back to Great Britain. On its return the 79th Foot was listed for disbandment, with the men being drafted into other units. In the end the regiment was reprieved, being instead posted to the West Indies in 1795. After a two-year tour the 79th were on garrison duties in England and Guernsey until 1799. In 1799 the regiment was again in action against the French in Holland, as part of the Helder Campaign. On October 2, 1799 it took part in its first major battle at Egmont-op-Zee. At the end of the campaign the 79th returned to England. In 1800 the 79th was part of a force that took part in a failed assault on the Spanish coast at Ferrol. In March 1801 the 79th Foot landed at Aboukir Bay, Egypt as part of an expeditionary force to prevent French control of the land route to India. After victories at Mandora and Alexandria, the British forces forced the surrender of the French forces at Cairo. Along with other regiments that took part in the Egyptian campaign the 79th Foot were henceforth permitted to bear a sphinx superscribed EGYPT on its colours and badges. The 79th spent the next few years in Minorca and the United Kingdom without coming under fire. A second battalion was formed in 1804, as a draft-finding unit. The 1st Battalion took part in an engagement at Copenhagen, Denmark in 1807, before returning to England. In 1808 the 79th Foot moved to Portugal, moving to Spain in the following year and participating in several major battles of the Peninsular War. Battle Honours Egmont-op-Zee Corunna Busaca Fuentes d' Onor Salamanca Pyrenees Nivelle Nive Toulouse Pennisula Waterloo    Following the abdication of Napoleon in 1814, the regiment moved to Cork, Ireland. However, with the return of Napoleon from exile, the 79th Foot travelled to Belgium in May, 1815. The regiment took part in the final battles of the Napoleonic Wars at Quatre Bras and Waterloo in June. Regiments Aim We the 79th pride ourself in our melee perception, discipline and balanced community we grew within the regimental scheme. The Regiment its self portrays and functions in a former British disciplinary manner where we aim to make each member of the Cameron Highlanders a respectable and well trained ranker. 79th aims to embrace members of all skills and performance as we choose to take members in; fit them to the strict schedule of events and training where they need to perform at a higher standard. All Cadets that take on board the programme within the 79th will be expected to live up to standard, all trainings become mandatory so that they can learn to fight and cooperate with other members of the regiment. Each Cadet we value and embrace as we see them as the foundations of the regiment. We believe spending the time and helping them perform up to standard does not just help the regiment but build a strong friendship between players and the community.

Regimental History The regiment was formed at the height of the French Revolutionary Wars, and moved to the Netherlands in 1794 where it took part in an unsuccessful campaign, before being evacuated back to Great Britain. On its return the 79th Foot was listed for disbandment, with the men being drafted into other units. In the end the regiment was reprieved, being instead posted to the West Indies in 1795. After a two-year tour the 79th were on garrison duties in England and Guernsey until 1799. In 1799 the regiment was again in action against the French in Holland, as part of the Helder Campaign. On October 2, 1799 it took part in its first major battle at Egmont-op-Zee. At the end of the campaign the 79th returned to England. In 1800 the 79th was part of a force that took part in a failed assault on the Spanish coast at Ferrol. In March 1801 the 79th Foot landed at Aboukir Bay, Egypt as part of an expeditionary force to prevent French control of the land route to India. After victories at Mandora and Alexandria, the British forces forced the surrender of the French forces at Cairo. Along with other regiments that took part in the Egyptian campaign the 79th Foot were henceforth permitted to bear a sphinx superscribed EGYPT on its colours and badges. The 79th spent the next few years in Minorca and the United Kingdom without coming under fire. A second battalion was formed in 1804, as a draft-finding unit. The 1st Battalion took part in an engagement at Copenhagen, Denmark in 1807, before returning to England. In 1808 the 79th Foot moved to Portugal, moving to Spain in the following year and participating in several major battles of the Peninsular War.

Ever wondered why people chose their regiment names? 

Well I bloody do 

For example the history about the regiment or the chosen reason you desired.

I personally chose the 4e because of their action through the entire campaign of Napoleonic wars except losing their eagle kek.

However where ever they went, the regiment was constantly praised for its camaraderie, courage and integrity. 

Post your reasons, something interesting to know
