COMMANDERS Regiment leaders could be described three ways: chief, commander, and commanding officer. The first was usually a general, who was often assigned higher level command in wartime, and kept an eye on the commander during peacetime. The commander, usually a colonel ran the regiment, and the commanding officer might be either, or a lower rank who actually exercised command at the time. Similarly, higher level commands were either assigned by order, or filled by acting commanders. A formation was often known by the name of its assigned commander even if he was wounded or even dead. The chiefs and commanders are listed in italics. What did he say?[:D] <b><font color="gold">Ernie Sands General,1e Brig,1eme Div,VI Corps,AdR President, Colonial Campaign Club </b></font id="gold"> |

An Austrian regiment of the time would have an "Inhaber" (literally, owner) who could be a deserving general or a royal or imperial prince, even a foreign dignitary, who exercised some prerogatives mainly in connection with patronage and honours, and a commanding officer who actually led it. (In one notable incident in the War of 1866, the Prussian Crown Prince as commander of the 2nd Army was very sad to find out that the Austrian regiment that had suffered worst in an engagement was his "own", Prinz von Preußen Nr. 20.) Likewise, to this day a British regiment will have both a (usually royal) "Colonel-in-Chief", a merely ceremonial head, and a deserving general officer as "Colonel of the Regiment", who sort of presides over the "family" constituted by all members of a regiment, while actual command is of course exercised by the Lieutenant-Colonel(s) commanding the battalion(s).
