Military career

Görne went into Prussian service in 1735 and joined the "Duke of Braunschweig" infantry regiment . He took part in the First and Second Silesian Wars . In 1740 Görne became second lieutenant and in 1747 prime lieutenant . He then took part in the Seven Years' War , becoming a staff captain in 1756 and a captain in 1757 . In 1760 he was promoted to major and became the commander of a grenadier regiment (previously Stechow), which formed from the grenadier companies of the regiments "von Wunsch" and "von Keniz" . Görne was seriously wounded in the battles of Kolin and Liegnitz .
