Full term." “In the name of all the fortification headquarters and commanders, I humbly officers are forced to inform, in which way they saw from the printed table of ranks with great contrition that His Imperial Majesty deigned to grant and confirm all noble military ranks to especially high ranks, and they, with sensual malice, at all the glorious world of promotions made to the ranks, are not only forgotten, but also In addition, we are deprived of our established advantage in everything, but we trust in His Imperial Majesty that our visible and bloody service shown to His Majesty is most mercifully pleasing and to us His Majesty’s visible servants, the honor that is given to our science everywhere will be equally granted, and His Imperial Majesty for his indescribable high state dFlami cannot always remember us, for this reason we dare the following, however, it is not a model for the reasons made, about equal rank with the artillery of the State Military Collegium, I decided to overthrow the high.
1) Officers from the fortifications, such as in the Roman Empire, Dashchi, Shveshchi, Prusby, in Saksoshi and in other services everywhere in the guard, are of the highest rank and are content with which, by the way, the attached extract from the royal Swedish regulations for fortification under the letter A is clear.
I’ll keep silent about Franchi, because the chief Engineer stationed at the fortress has the rank of brigadier.
2) We, too, under His Imperial Majesty’s Russian Armed Forces, have always used this rank, and in this regard, neither artillery nor other army servants have ever caused us any difficulties.
3) Like the artillery servants and I, we received and still receive equal salaries and fodder, keeping silent about the fact that previously ten years
Many of the fortification officers were given a salary rather than artillery officers.
1) East. very good Eng. Ex. in Rossfi, A. Savelyeva, 1819
4) We are aware that in the services of His Imperial Majesty, in all cases, we are more trusted and matters concern us more than other sovereigns in the services, for here two or three people from us usually also manage, for which in other states ten and twenty engineers are sent, for this sake we hope We, that in the army of His Imperial Majesty, especially to us, will be honored in great honor, as we manage a great service and are confirmed by great dangers and parables.
5) Moreover, we believe (however, it is not prejudicial to anyone) that those who studied with us on purpose and for this purpose were accepted into the service of His Imperial Majesty on large occasions and in various ways, perform the most important service, such as for comments, reconnaissance, in the preparation of land maps and nautical land maps, in the construction of piers, canals, gateways and fortresses, and with these activities and attacked! and, also with these various architectural and mechanical functions and needs, both during the war and in the world, and against that, artillery science service only during the war and then only especially when preparing and equipping guns and mar!rs is required.
6) And since His Imperial Majesty, among other useful institutions, has decreed that henceforth, for the better production of the Armed Forces, officers of Engineering Science will also learn from artillery and fortification officers, for this reason we give His Imperial Majesty the highest priority, is it fair that those who teach before students have the highest rank and will not everyone who is taught this honest science be more eager and jealous to show when an excellent honor will come from it in front of others.
7) And since it is easy for any perfect engineer to listen to artillery, a large number of us have been diligently trained in it, and then we are ready, if His Majesty is pleased in an emergency, to carry out the artillery position, as well as artillery officers with all efficiency, but we hope against this that His Imperial Majesty and the gentlemen from the artillery officers He deigns to command that they mutually volunteer to fulfill our duties in all points and cases.
