Regiment Von Trumbach (from 1778 known as Regiment Von Bose) was a regiment from the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel that fought alongside Britain in the American Revolution. It became Second Battalion, Regiments Prinz Carl von Hessen in 1789; Second Battalion, 3rd Hessian Infantry Regiment in 1821; and was known as First Battalion, 3. Hessian Infantry Regiment Nr. 83 of the Prussian Army from 1866. The total number of German troops committed to the conflict eventually reach about 33,000- almost a full third of the total Crown forces. The Hesse Cassel army was based on the Prussian army of the time and was among the most professional in Europe. The 8th infantry regiment came to the American shores as the Regiment von Trumbach and changed names a couple years later when Carl von Bose became the regiment's Chef, or commander.
