Ulans
Ulans are a type of cavalry soldier historically found in Eastern European armies, most notably Poland, Lithuania, and later in Russia and other successor states. The term "ulan" derives from the Turkic word "oğlu" meaning "son" or "young man," and it originally referred to a young warrior of nomadic peoples. Their distinctive armament typically included a lance, a saber, and often a pistol or carbine.
The origins of the ulan as a military unit can be traced to the 14th and 15th
Ulan uniforms were often distinctive, characterized by a czapka, a tall, square-topped cap, and colorful tunics.
