Archibald Primrose was a Scottish officer in Swedish service. He was first lieutenant in Alexander Leslie's [SSNE 1] Sodermanland, Narke and Varmland regiment until 1629 when he served under John Kinnemond's command. Possibly the same lieutenant Archibald Primrose listed in Russian service in 1632 when he was a lieutenant in Alexander Leslie's [SSNE 2916]regiment and company. Probably fought in the Smolensk war.
