Dutch Officer Casualties at Linselles/Blaton 1793

Hello and Happy Xmas to everyone,

The Prince of Orange published a list of the officer casualties on August 18th 1793 at Linselles and Blaton (Jaeerboeken), unfortunately he only gives rank and surnames. I have been trying to identify these men using the 1792 and 1794 Naamregisteren. I have drawn a blank on the following six men of the 37 named officers. In three cases I have identified someone with the same surname in the Naamregister, but their units were not present. Can anyone cast any light on the units or appointments which these men served in;

1. Ensign Schminke (Killed)
2. Captain Bom possibly [M D] 2nd company 1st Bn IR 24 regiment but this unit was not present perhaps Captain/Lieutenant J.L. de Bons in Swiss regt No.5 May(wounded).
3. Lieutenant Matthieu (Wounded) possibly in Matthieu Volunteers.
4. Lieutenant Scherer; possibly [S.C.], 4th Company, 2nd Bn Swiss IR 3 but unlikely to be this man as he was a captain in 1792 and his unit was not present (wounded).
5. Ensign Beurkin (Wounded)
6. Ensign C C Hartjelief; 2nd coy, 2nd battalion IR 18 but unit not present.

Thanks and regards

Garry
