The Guard Reserve Uhlan Regiment (German: Garde-Reserve-Ulanen-Regiment) was a cavalry regiment in the Imperial German Army during the First World War.
Upon formation of the 4th Guard Infantry Division in May 1915, the regimental HQ and 1st and 3rd squadrons were assigned to it.
Thilo von Trotha, a post-war conservative politician, served with this regiment in 1914 and 1915.
Famous quotes containing the words guards and/or reserve:
“The intelligent have a right over the ignorant, namely, the right of instructing them. The right punishment of one out of tune, is to make him play in tune; the fine which the good, refusing to govern, ought to pay, is, to be governed by a worse man; that his guards shall not handle gold and silver, but shall be instructed that there is gold and silver in their souls, which will make men willing to give them every thing which they need.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“In a democracy—even if it is a so-called democracy like our white-élitist one—the greatest veneration one can show the rule of law is to keep a watch on it, and to reserve the right to judge unjust laws and the subversion of the function of the law by the power of the state. That vigilance is the most important proof of respect for the law.”
—Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
