Profile
Ludwig Georg Thedel Graf von Wallmoden was an Austrian General of the Cavalry at services in various states, best known for his training of light infantry and the refinement of the Tirailleur system. As a grandson of George II of Great Britain and first cousin of George III, he is perhaps the only individual from that generation to have been photographed, within the broader British royal family.
