Formation and fighting
Formed in 1812 in Novogroduk, former Grand Duchy of Lithuania[4] from conscripts from the Grodno Department and part of the Vilnius Department.[5] To streamline the formation of units, special commissioners were appointed to support regimental commanders. In the 19th Uhlan Regiment, this was Ensign of Puża Ossowski.[6] In July 1812, the regiment was joined by 36 deserters and prisoners of war from the Imperial Russian Army.[7]
On December 1, the regiment stationed in Kėdainiai numbered 808 officers and soldiers.[5]
The regiment fought near Sieraków on February 12, 1813.[4]
Later, the 19th Uhlan Regiment was merged with the 17th Lithuanian Uhlan Regiment.[5]
