Early Life
Military Career
Ai Chi War
Vionna-Frankenlisch, ruled at that time by King Alexander II, entered the Ai Chi War formally on the eleventh of July 1899. Lindegard, though inexperienced, was able to utilise the patronage of his family and his already promising record to secure a place amongst the Expeditionary Force which was earmarked for Ai Chi. As a significant portion of the First Column was made up of troops from Lindegard's family lands of Monton, he was promoted to brevet Colonel and appointed as Sir Douglas Rentry's Chief of Staff. Rentry was commander of the First Column
