Prussian general officer Udo von Tresckow launched his
military career in 1824 when he joined the Jäger Battalion.
During the Danish War of 1864 (Deutsch-Dänischer Krieg), Oberst von
Tresckow was in command of Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 53, whose troops were engaged
at Düppeler Schanzen (Dybbol). Von Tresckow began the Austro-Prussian
War of 1866 (Deutscher Krieg) in command of the
the same regiment, but was later
selected to head up the combined Garde-Infanterie-Brigade.
The
Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71 (Deutsch-Französischer Krieg) saw
von Tresckow in command of 1. Landwehr-Division which was
charged with the investment of city of Strasbourg, France. He was promoted to
General-Lieutenant prior to war's end, and was awarded the Pour
le Mérite on 17 February 1871. General-Lieutenant von Tresckow retired from
active duty in 1875 (zur Disposition gestellt), whereupon he received the brevet rank of General
der Infanterie.
