Värvat främlingsregemente


Värvat Främlingsregemente, was a Swedish Army infantry regiment organised in Poland in the early 18th century.

History

The regiment was organised in Poland in 1706 during the Great Northern War, and it was made up of 1,200 men—mostly former Polish soldiers that had been captured or that had deserted. In 1709 when the regiment marched out of Poland, 960 men deserted, and the regiment was disbanded. The remaining soldiers were transferred to other regiments.
