22nd Lithuanian Infantry Regiment – infantry regiment of the Army of the Duchy of Warsaw.
The regiment was raised in 1812 in Minsk at the expense of Colonel Stanisław Hutten-Czapski, who took command of it on July 13 of that year.[1][2] The regiment's major was Hilchen, and the battalion commanders were Mieszkowski, Łaszewski, Jezierski, and Bitner.[3]
Three months after the regiment began to be formed, Czapski still wrote in October 1812, that the regiment was not at full strength and lacked 600 men.[2] In addition, the 2nd Battalion was unarmed.[2]
The unit fought near Babruysk, Klyetsk (mid-October 1812) and near Minsk (November 15, 1812).[1]
