Lithuanian Army (1922)
Two years after the end of Lithuanian Wars of Independence (1918–1920), the Lithuanian Army consisted of 4 infantry, 1 cavalry divisions, 4 artillery regiments and a number of small independent battalions and companies.
In 1921, the year's military budget was 491 million auksiniai which was 54.75% of all states outcomes. One year later, in 1922, state outcomes for defence were 4312 million auksiniai (42.66% of the state budget).
Famous quotes containing the word army:
“Methinks it would be some advantage to philosophy if men were named merely in the gross, as they are known. It would be necessary only to know the genus and perhaps the race or variety, to know the individual. We are not prepared to believe that every private soldier in a Roman army had a name of his own,—because we have not supposed that he had a character of his own.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
