uniforms of the Caucasus nations 1918-21 ?
« 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:

You just can't help loving this site!  :D  No matter how obscure the question, people rally round with an answer..........  o_o

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.

  I have a question , is there any information  , uniform  illustrations or

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.
