Vacant Regiment
Vacant Regiment
VACANT REGIMENT. German regiments (or battalions) were so called when the colonel by whose name they had been known was no longer in command. Baurmeister, for example, refers in a letter of 2 June 1777 to "the Regiment vacant Rail." The latter unit was commanded in turn by Rall, Woellwarth, Trumbach, and d'Angelli; it was a "vacant regiment" during the intervening periods.
