Warasdiner Border Hussar Regiment

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The regimental founder FZM von Sachsen-Hildburghausen

The regiment was a cavalry unit established in 1747 as Warasdiner hussars for the imperial Habsburg army in the Varaždin County , Kingdom of Croatia and Slavonia . In 1769 the regiment was added to the cavalry rankings as Cavalry Regiment No. 41 and dissolved again in 1780. The following numbering was subsequently introduced for the system: 1747/1 (to Ticino ), Grenzhusarenregiment H II (to Bleckwenn ).

The border regiments did not use the name of a regiment owner (if one existed), but a regional designation.
