It was regular at this time for officers and soldiers to serve in multiple different armies. National identity and nationalism stepped aside for loyalty to Monarchs.
Luxembourg was part of kingdom of the Netherlands. It only became independent after the death of king Willem III because they still had the law that women couldn't inherit the throne, and Willem only had a daughter wilhelmina
1711 was when the Hungarians in the forgotten eastern theater lost their war against the Austrians :( most of our small castles are in ruins in Transylvania since 1711 ...
The Habsburgs really needed to manage the genetic line far far better ... they were kings they could choose as they liked the smartest and healthiest suitors from the common folk to keep the genetic line good.
