452. Olof Olofsson Huss

H: Olof Olofsson Huss was a ryttare (cavalryman). He was accepted 1723-
11-25 to the cavalry regiment as a dragoon (no. 60), Jämtland’s riflemen
regiment for Bodal, Brunflo, Jämtland (Z), and after 1729 he was a dragon
(no. 62) for Lund, Brunflo (Z). A dragoon was formerly a mounted
infantryman. They traveled on horseback to the battlefield but they fought as
foot soldiers. As mounted infantry they were very mobile units. It happened
that dragoons fought as cavalry in battles. However, this was a type of
warfare they were not trained for and could end up in disaster. During the
eighteenth century the dragoons were more and more used as cavalry and
therefore also trained as cavalry. Eventually it was only the name that
separated them from the light cavalry. During the nineteenth century dragoons
was a term for heavy cavalry (Hans Högman, 2005). He remarried Lispeta
Mårtensdotter in Brunflo (Z) 1748-11-13 and resigned in 1759-04-24 due to
old age and frailness.
