Karl Wilhelm Georg von Grolmann - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Karl Wilhelm Georg von Grolmann (July 30, 1777 - June 1, 1843) was a Prussian general born in Berlin, who fought in the Napoleonic Wars. |
 | | He entered an infantry regiment at the age of thirteen years, was commissioned as an ensign in 1795, a second lieutenant in 1797, a first lieutenant in 1804, and a staff-captain in 1805. |
 | | In the decision, on June 18, 1815, to press forward to Wellington's assistance, Grolmann actively concurred, and as the troops approached the battlefield, he is said to have overcome the momentary hesitation of the commander-in-chief and the chief of staff; himself giving the order to advance. |
