Evidence of the officers in the Hesse-Kassel regiment.

Lieutenant Colonel Georg Dümont from Kassel, son of a French officer who had fled there; He had studied at five universities, witnessed the unfortunate journey to Catalonia in the Dutch military service and several sieges in Osnabrück. 32 years old, he was already a lieutenant colonel. At the beginning of 1687, he tried to get a part in a regiment, for which the Venetian recruiting colonel Pape also recruited in Hesse, and when Pape lost the desire to lead such a regiment in the Levant, he took over the accord himself. The Landgrave gave no permission for this but gave Dumont command of the regiment set up for Venice. In 1688, at the age of 37, he became a colonel. In 1704 he retired as lieutenant general and died in 1705 at the age of 55.

Major Karl Reinhard Klauer zu Wohra returned to Hesse after the first campaign because of domestic matters. In 1690 he was a lieutenant colonel in the Keller regiment and died in 1692. Half a year later his family de él died out with his brother de él on the Wahlstatt.

Those who died in these campaigns from illness or special accident are marked by a cross, those who fell by arms by a star. Whether the days of death of those who died in Athens and Poros were recorded according to the old or new calendar could not be determined, but the former is most likely.
