The 6th Infantry Regiment of Lutzow's Free Corps is an AUS/NZ Napoleon regiment. We have training's on Tuesday nights, and we compete weekly in the Aus Line event. We are a mature and active regiment, and we are looking for more members to get up to full fighting strength.
History:
The unit was officially founded in February 1813 as Königlich Preußisches Freikorps von Lützow (Royal Prussian Free Corps von Lützow), which consisted mostly of craftsmen and labourers, and some students. Black was Adopted as the uniform colour because The Kingdom of Prussia was already having financial problems - the free corp volunteers had to equip and supply themselves, and black was adopted because it was the only colour dye that could be used on civilian clothes. Red trim was chosen for the rank insignia. With the addition of brass buttons, the unit wore a black-red-gold colour scheme, a combination that became associated with republican ideals.
Despite its relatively small size, the corps became famous after the war, as it was the only unit in the army consisting of people from all over Germany. Also, it contained academics, writers and other well known people, in addition, two women, Eleonore Prochaska and Anna Lühring, had managed to join in disguise.
After the peace of 1814 the corps was dissolved, the infantry becoming the 25th Regiment, the cavalry the 6th Ulans. After Napoleon's return from Elba, both regiments fought at Ligny and Waterloo during the Hundred Days.
