Carel Frederik Krahmer de Bichin (28 June 1787, Korbach, Waldeck – 23 September 1830, Brussels) was a Dutch artillery officer.
This battery was attached to the (Dutch) Armée du Nord of the Kingdom of Holland that same month and it took part in the campaign of Marshal Mortier's army corps in Swedish Pomerania in 1807.
The battery was attached to the First Brigade (Col. Hendrik Detmers) of the Third Netherlands Division (general Chassé) on the eve of the battle of Waterloo.
[8] He immediately engaged a French battery near La Haye Sainte that was enfilading the British artillery at the time, forcing it out of position.
Next the battery started pouring a murderous fire into the French Middle Guard division, cutting lanes through its columns.
When next the Detmers brigade performed a bayonet attack on the French Guards, Krahmer came forward to support it under the direction of Major Van der Smissen.
In the early 1820s Krahmer wrote the words for the regimental song of the Belgo-Dutch horse artillery: Nous sommes tous de francs lurons (We are all likely lads[11])[1].
