Histórico
Maimburg was 67 years of age when he died in 1836 (see below), and was therefore born in 1768 or 1769.
In 1799 he was stationed at Minorca with the 8th (or King's) Regiment of Foot (O.13.1, No. 106).
On 1 Sept. 1800 he was serving as a Lieutenant in the 8th Regiment, commanding a detachment of invalids (O.13.1, No. 142).
In 1803 he published a translation of Johann Ehwald's Abhandlung vom Dienst der leichten Truppen under the title A Treatise upon the Duties of Light Troops (O.13.2, No. 197; J. Ewald, Treatise on Partisan Warfare, tr. R. A. Selig and D. C. Skaggs (1991), pp. 3, 39).
On 3 Dec. 1803 he married Jane Tucker at the church of St Martin in the Fields in London (marriage register, St Martin-in-the-Fields, London; TNA, WO 42/56).
He joined the Foreign Veteran Battalion in the King’s German Legion on 20 Dec. 1803, and served in it without a permanent rank until 5 Apr. 1810, when he was appointed a Captain. He served in the expedition to Hanover in 1805, the expedition to the Baltic in 1807 and 1808, the Peninsular campaigns in 1808, 1809, 1811, 1812, and 1813, the campaign in the South of France in 1813, and in the Netherlands in 1814 and 1815 (N. L. Beamish, History of the King’s German Legion (1837), ii. 607; A List of the Officers of the Army and of the Corps of the Royal Marines (1821), p. 689)).
On 23 Jan. 1814 he was appointed Captain of a Company in the Foreign Veteran Battalion ‘from the 1st Battalion of Light Infantry’ (London Gazette, 1 Mar. 1814, p. 468) and on 24 Feb. 1816 he was placed on half-pay (A List of the Officers of the Army and Royal Marines (1835), p. 531), presumably on the disbandment of the King’s German Legion, which took place this year (Beamish, ii. 517).
Maimburg's letter to Dawson Turner of 3 April 1821 is subscribed 'A. de Maimburg | Lieutenant Colonel | Coutances | Manche' (O.13.21, No. 59).
Maimburg died at Paris on 5 Jan. 1836, aged 67 (TNA, WO 42/56; Beamish, ii. 607).
