By Geert van Uythoven

Nearly 600 officers served with the cavalry of the newly raised army of the Netherlands from 1813 to 1815. That does however not mean that its officers were inexperienced! Many were veterans of the wars and campaigns as far back as 1793-’95, sometimes even further!

 

Listed are the names of all cavalry officers, including a short biography: listed are their birth and death years; the year they entered service, their respective ranks serving in the following nations unless stated otherwise:

 

- Republic of the United Provinces - 1795

- Batavian Republic 1795 - 1806

- Kingdom of Holland 1806 - 1810

- French Empire 1810 - 1813

- Kingdom of the Netherlands 1813 -

 

...and dates that this specific rank was acquired; and medals and awards received. Sometimes, more data has been added.
