  1. Like ours, they carried pistols and swords. In the age of machine guns.

    1. My nephew, career Army, 3 tours in Iraq, always carried a pistol to dispatch any approaching threat to his men, when in a town or village, and did so several times. Handguns. Don't leave home without one.

    2. Not so much as a weapon, but as a badge of authority.

  2. I thought only the Imperial German Army had troops called Uhlans. Huh. I learn something new every day.

  3. Uhlans = lancers.
