Very impressing what you have found out.

Ewald von Trauwitz Hellwig was the last of the 7 sons that died.
A dutchmen that also served in this Regiment was Juan Maria Teixeira de Mattos took over his uniform. That i now the Dutch army museum.
Can you also find something of Juan Maria Teixeira de Mattos.
He claims that he was in the Regiment till 1918 he describes. that in his diary. But i don't believe it.
