RSR 4

One of the wonderful cavalry Kappenabzeichen is that of the 4th Mounted Riflemen. The identification of the troop is a bit difficult by the fact that it was renamed during the war, which was not uncommon in the Monarchy. From 1917, the name of the former Landwehr units was changed to rifle (Schützen-). Thus, the name of the 4th Landwehr Ulan Regiment also changed, they became the 4th Mounted Riflemen.

The command of the unit was in Olmütz, and it received its personnel from the vicinity of Kraków. Like most units of the cavalry, this regiment was split into companies and used for courier duties in the infantry divisions. This regiment supported the 5th, 12th and 46th Divisions.
