This
regiment was raised in 1713 in Halberstadt. Prior to the battle of
Kolin it seems to have had minor losses but at that battle, 11
officers were killed and 16 captured while 500 soldiers were killed,
200 wounded and 250 captured. Then
on August 12 1759, the regiment fought in the battle of Kunersdorf
where it was deployed in the first line of the right centre as part
of Thile's Brigade. In this bloody battle, the regiment lost more
than 700 men killed or wounded. One battalion of the regiment was at
the bloody battle of Torgau but it served in Zieten's corps so losses
were light.
The colour of the
flags is a most unusual shade of red which Kronoskaf calls
'purple-red'.
