Talk:Joachim Zachris Duncker

Untitled
Could someone who visit Umeå visit Dunckers grave and write down the inscriptions?
 * The grave was destroyed when the church burned down 24 december 1887. The "Memorial" was raised in 1897.
 * The inscription (In Swedish):
 * J*Z*DUNCKER+1774+1809
 * ÖFVERSTE LÖJTNANT VID KONGL*SAVOLAX JÄGARE REGEMENTE R*S*O SOM FÖLL FÖR FÄDERNESLANDET I AFFÄREN VID HÖRNEFORS DEN 5 JULI
 * SVENSKA ARMÉENS OFFICERARE RESTE VÅRDEN
 * I could translate it to English, if needed. /MikaelLindmark 21:01, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Someone please check what the swedish military unit "jägare" translates to in 19th century terms. I know that the current translation would be ranger, but somewhere I saw a translation to skirmisher. Anyone has a clue on the proper translation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kinslayer (talk • contribs) 06:17, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
