Theodor Schauman

Oskar Theodor (Teodor) Schauman (October 13, 1849, Helsinki – March 11, 1931, Porvoo) was a Finnish major general (1919), and nobleman.

Schauman was a member of the committee in 1887–1888 that considered the establishment of a cavalry regiment within the Finnish military.

The regiment was disbanded in 1901, and Schauman, holding the rank of major general, was prematurely retired after opposing Nikolai Bobrikov.

[1][2][3] In 1901, Schauman was elected as the agent of the Cities' General Fire Aid Association in Turku.

In 1919, Schauman was also a member of the international committee for the demolition of the Åland Islands' fortifications.
