Lineup

By the highest cabinet order of September 4, 1913, the formation of a total of seven additional hunter-on-horse regiments of five squadrons each was ordered on October 1 of that year.

To set up regiment No. 10 had to submit:

• the 2nd Pomeranian Uhlan Regiment No. 9 the 4th Squadron
• the hussar regiment "Prince Blücher von Wahlstatt" (Pomeranian) No. 5 the 5th squadron
• the Dragoon Regiment "von Wedel" (Pommersches) No. 11 the 1st Squadron
• the dragoon regiment "Prince Albrecht of Prussia" (Litthauisches) No. 1 the 3rd squadron
• the Uhlan Regiment “Emperor Alexander III. von Russland “(West Prussian) No. 1 the 1st squadron

The city ​​of Angerburg was assigned to the regiment as a garrison .

First World War

After the mobilization in July 1914, the regimental association was disbanded and the squadrons were divided into various infantry divisions - according to their role as reporting and liaison riders.

There came:

• the 1st Squadron to the 88th Infantry Division
• the 2nd squadron to the 2nd Infantry Division
• the 3rd Squadron to the 37th Infantry Division
• the 4th Squadron to the 224th Infantry Division
• the 5th squadron to the staff of the 1st Army Corps (?)

The squadrons were deployed in both the west and east and retained their cavalry status until the end of the war. In January 1919 the regiment in Angerburg was demobilized and disbanded.

The tradition was later taken over by the training squadron of the 2nd (Prussian) cavalry regiment in Allenstein.

uniform

The tunic was made of gray-green cloth with Swedish lapels and yellow buttons. Collars, lugs and lapels were light green, the badge color lemon yellow. The regimental number was on the shoulder pieces. The leather gear was black. Officers wore the cuirassier helmet with dragoon eagle, men and officers the dragoon helmet. Dragoon boots were commonly used. The bandolier was only intended for officers. (Since the cuirassier helmet intended for the men when the regiments were set up - made of blackened sheet steel as for the first seven regiments, but with fittings made of tombac instead of nickel silver - were not available, these regiments were equipped with the dragoon helmet Conversion to the originally planned equipment.)

Lance flag: white-black
