• Source: 2nd Life Grenadier Regiment (Sweden)

The 2nd Life Grenadier Regiment (Swedish: Andra livgrenadjärregementet), designation I 5, was a Swedish Army infantry regiment that traced its origins back to the 16th century. It was merged into a new regiment in 1927. The regiment's soldiers were recruited from the province of Östergötland.




History



The regiment has its origins in fänikor (companies) raised in Östergötland in the 16th century. These units later formed Östergötland Infantry Regiment and Östergötland Cavalry Regiment which merged in 1791 and formed Life Grenadier Regiment. This regiment was split in 1816 creating 2nd Life Grenadier Regiment and 1st Life Grenadier Regiment.
The regiment was allotted in 1687. The regiment was given the designation I 5 (5th Infantry Regiment) in a general order in 1816. 2nd Life Grenadier Regiment was then merged with 1st Life Grenadier Regiment in 1928 to reform the old Life Grenadier Regiment.
