Carl-Axel Torén

Carl-Axel Oscar Torén (8 March 1887 – 21 October 1961) was a Swedish Army officer and horse rider who competed in the 1912 Summer Olympics. He finished 13th in the individual jumping event with his horse Falken. He first trained in sprint running, but then changed to horse riding, as his father was an equestrian official and organizer of equestrian events at the 1912 Olympics. He was appointed executive officer of the Life Regiment of Horse in 1940. Torén became head of the administrative corps of the Swedish Cavalry in 1943. With Lilly, he had the children Carola (born 1920), Anne-Marie (1922–1931), Hans-Gabriel (born 1925), Harriet (born 1928) and Eva (born 1931). In 1941, he married Baroness Anita Bennet (born 1904), the daughter of Baron Jacob Bennet and Anna Rosenblad.
