The fact that Wilhelm's rank was that of a Private it is almost certain that his family lacked the wealth or social status needed for him to be given a commission.

 History of Friedrich II by Thomas Carlyle: AFTERNOON AND EVENING OF FRIEDRICH`S LIFE Chapter 8 THE FURSTENBUND: ...
Friedrich`s Old Age is not unamiable; on the contrary, I think it would have made a pretty Picture, had there been a Limner to take it, with the least felicity or physiognomic coherency;--as there was not.
Friedrich`s element is itself wearing dim, sombre of hue; and the records of it, too, seem to grow dimmer, more and more intermittent.
Friedrich, on loss of friends, does not take refuge in solitude; he tries always for something of substitute; sees his man once or twice,--in several instances once only, and leaves him to his pension in sinecure thenceforth.

 The Prussian Army at Auerstadt: 14 October 1806
Auerstadt demonstrated that a resourceful corps commander leading well-trained troops could, with a little luck, overcome a large numerical inferiority on the battlefield (other good example is GdI Reinhard von Scheffer-Boyadel’s successful withdrawal of XXV Reserve Corps east of Lodz on 24-26 November 1914).
As skilled and tough as Davout’s III Corps troops were — GdD Charles-Etienne Gudin de la Sablonniere’s infantry division suffered a 40% casualty rate — several important factors assisted Davout.
With Braunschweig out of action and Friedrich-Wilhelm III failing to assert his authority, Kalckreuth’s reserve remained unengaged (although it later helped to cover the army’s retreat).

 Irene's New Travelogue 2002 - The Saalburg   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
After the region became Prussian territory after the Prussian-Austrian War in 1866, it was the preferred residence of the Hohenzollern, starting with Kaiser Wilhelm I. His son, Friedrich (Wilhelm) III and his spouse Victoria, daughter of Queen Victoria – later going by the name of Kaiserin Friedrich – spent a lot of time there.
Friedrich III died only 99 days after he assumed the crown upon his father's death, which left the empire in the hands of his son, Wilhelm II.
Contrary to his father and his son, Friedrich was considered the hope and patron saint of the German liberals, which included the renowned historian Theodor Mommsen, and one can only speculate how world history would have progressed had Friedrich not died so untimely, leaving behind a son unprepared for his job.
