WIKIPEDIA: The Imperial Russian Army had converted its seventeen line Uhlan regiments to dragoons in 1881 as part of a general modernization of the Russian cavalry. During this period only the two Uhlan regiments of the Russian Imperial Guard retained their special distinctions. In 1910, however, the historic line regiments of Uhlans had their lances, traditional titles and distinctive ceremonial uniforms returned to them. From 1910 to 1918 the designation of "Uhlan" had however become simply a historic distinction in the Russian cavalry (many of whom carried lances), without tactical significance.
