Soldier's uniforms demonstrate thebelonging to the Armed Forces ofthe respective country. A uniform isnot just a piece of clothes adjustedto the performance of a specifictask or service. It disciplines andreminds every military person thathis honour is to serve his country.

During the first period of theLatvian independence, its soldierswere famous for their alwaysperfect uniforms, which wereproudly worn by each soldier.

Today, upon re-establishing of ourArmed Forces, we would like toensure that the traditions of thepre-war Latvia are inherited andthe soldiers' uniforms are nice andworn with genuine pride.

THE LATVIAN ARMY ANDITS UNIFORMS

1919 - 1940

On 18 November 1918 theRepublic of Latvia was proclaimed inRiga. The existence of the state hadbeen declared, but there was still along way to go until it could be fullyestablished. The German OccupationArmy was still in Latvia and Russiantroops were invading the country fromthe east.

The interim government formedthe first units of the national armedforces under difficult conditions. Thefirst and biggest unit of the nationalarmed forces - a Separate LatvianBattalion commanded by LieutenantColonel O. Kalpaks - was formed on 5January 1919 in Jelgava.

On 28 February 1919 the Ministryof Protection passed its first order on asystem of clothing, insignia and unifiedmilitary rank for Latvian military units.According to this order, the army'suniform consisted of a coat (greatcoat),trench coat, hat, trousers and footwear.Tabs in the red colour of the Latvianflag with a white stripe sewn diagonally

shoulder tabs worn by the soldiersthrough the use of stripes, stars anddiamonds.

At the beginning of 1920, therewere approximately 52, 000 soldiersserving in the Latvian Armed Forces.Clothing the units into new uniformswas a slow process and the number ofsoldiers grew faster than the ability tosupply them with uniforms. Thus, a hatcockade - "The Sun of the LatvianSoldiers", an altered picture of theLatvian Coat of Arms by artist B. Dzenis- was widely used as the army'sinsignia.

During this time, the TechnicalCommission of the Army Headquartersstarted to elaborate the first regulationsfor the types and quality of clothing,footwear, linen, accoutrements etc. Thecolour of the uniforms was first changedfrom an initial grey into the green wornby the Guards. However, it was laterchanged to a greenish brown or khakicolour.

Cavalry units used the yellowcolour on the seems of their cavalieruniforms, hat lapels and tabs as theirinsignia. The red colour of the Latvianflag was retained by the infantryregiments. At that time, the LatvianArmy was deployed as follows: theentire Zemgale Division and theCavalry Regiment - in Daugavpils, theLatgale Division - in Al˙ksne, CËsis,Valmiera and RËzekne, the KurzemeDivision - in Liep‚ja and Jelgava. Theinsignia indicating the type and theunit of each force were placed onshoulder-straps, although service in aspecific unit of troops could also bemarked by a badge on the uniform.

The army's technical units andsections were merged into a TechnicalDivision on 16 January 1922. Thecolour of the uniforms for the technicalunits of the Army was a bluish black,but the colour of their tabs waschanged several times due to thereorganisation of their subordination.

In 1939, the Aviation Regimenthad three fighter plane squadrons, foursquadrons of scouts and one marinescout - hydroplane squadron.
