Our History

The word "ulan" in the Turkic Tatar language means a brave warrior or young man. Uhlans (/ ’u:la: n, ’ju: e n/; Polish: Ułan; Germany: Ulan) were Polish light cavalry armed with lances, sabres and pistols. They became the model for many cavalry units in Europe in the early 19th century.
