Title: uniforms of the Caucasus nations 1918-21 ?
Post by: twiglet7 on February 10, 2012, 09:34:54 AM

 Hello,

  does anyone know what uniforms were worn by the briefly independent countries of  (Democratic Republics) Armenia , Azerbaijan and Georgia 1918-21 ?

 I've been told that the Russian   TSEIKHGAUZ magazine  issue 40-41  had some illusttations  of the Azerbaijan army, but i haven't seen them.

  Can anyone post them ?

   Pete.

Hi, Pete.

 I'm on the forum is laid out this article and other information on the Azerbaijani armies. The article, of course, in Russian - but you can use Google translator

And here are some interesting facts about the battle for Baku:

Here is an interesting collection of our colleague Marc Plant for clothing the mountain peoples of the Caucasus:

While recently researching the events in Baku 1918 I found that the IWM site had a good selctoin of photos of the troops of the Central Caspian Dictatorship.

The war in the Caucasus theater of operations is outside the scope of my keen interest, so the information I have is not very much.
 I can offer a section on the Georgian army from the book Deryabin "The Civil War in Russia 1917 - 1922. National Army."
 An illustration from the book, depicting a Georgian soldier, you can see above - in a message from Prof.Witchheimer. This is a soldier in a white tunic Russian sample.
 But it will be digitized text in Russian - to translate it yourself you will need a translator of Google.
 This option suits you?

 In the Armenian army, I still have nothing, except for those pictures, a link to that given above.
