22nd Lithuanian Infantry Regiment â infantry regiment of the Army of the Duchy of Warsaw.
The regiment was raised in 1812 in Minsk at the expense of Colonel Stanisà Âaw Hutten-Czapski, who took command of it on July 13 of that year. The regiment's major was Hilchen, and the battalion commanders were Mieszkowski, à Âaszewski, Jezierski, and Bitner.
Three months after the regiment began to be formed, Czapski still wrote in October 1812, that the regiment was not at full strength and lacked 600 men. In addition, the 2nd Battalion was unarmed.
The unit fought near Babruysk, Klyetsk (mid-October 1812) and near Minsk (November 15, 1812).
As of May 1, 1813, 12 officers and 53 soldiers from the regiment were still defending at the siege of Modlin.
After Napoleon's abdication, Tsar Alexander I of Russia agreed to repatriate PolishâÂÂLithuanian units. They were to serve as a base for the formation of the Army of Congress Poland under the command of Grand Duke Konstantin. On June 13, 1814, the regiment was assigned a concentration site in Pà Âock. However, the regiment was not recreated, as the new army provided for only 12 infantry regiments.
