FREDERICK CHARLES (FRIEDRICH KARL NIKOLAUS), PRINCE (1828-1885) , Prussian general field
marshal
 , son of Prince Charles of Prussia and grandson of King Frederick William III., was born in Berlin on the loth of
March
  1828. He was educated for the army, which he entered on his tenth birthday as second
lieutenant
  in the 14th Foot Guards. He became first
lieutenant
  in 1844, and in 1846 entered the university of
Bonn
 , where he stayed for two years, being accompanied throughout by Major von Roon, afterwards the famous war minister. In 1848 he became a company
commander
  in his
regiment
 , and soon after-wards served in the Schleswig-Holstein War on the staff of
Marshal
  von
Wrangel
 , being present at the battle of Schleswig (April 23, 1848). Later in 1848 he became Riltmeister in the Garde du Corps cavalry

  of a cavalry brigade. In this capacity he was brought closely in
touch
  with General von Reyher, the
chief
  of the general staff, and with Moltke. He married, in the same year, Princess Marie Anne of Anhalt. In 18J7 he became commander of the 1st Guard Infantry division, but very shortly afterwards, on account of disputes concerned with the training methods then in force, he resigned the appointment.
In 1858 he visited France, where he minutely investigated the state of the French army, but it was not
long
  before he was recalled, for in 1859, in consequence of the Franco-Austrian War, Prussia mobilized her forces, and Frederick Charles was made a divisional commander in the II. army corps. In this post he was given the liberty of action which had previously been denied to him. About this time (186o) the prince gave a lecture to the officers of his command on the French army and its methods, the substance of which (Fine mill-tarische Denkschrift
