Reitter Karl was lucky, he submitted his credentials and was interviewed by the officer recruitment board which included the Duke himself. After a long discussion the board informed him that he would command either a regiment of infantry or dragoons in the Wittenberg Legion, his orders were to proceed to the muster camp, initially take charge of the artillery and await further orders.
Here we can see the Reitter mounted on his favourite horse (on the right of the picture) supervising an artillery drill.

And a finer body of troops would have been hard for him to find ;-)
Keep up the good work, on all your projects.
