Hello,

i have recently found some websites that have photos and information of the Tuvan army pre WW2.

As you can see from the links the Tuvans wore Soviet uniforms , but seem to have had their own rank insignia.

history and photos- http://mil-history.livejournal.com/648063.html

for a photo of the Tuvan officer rank insignia , (last photo) - http://en.tuvaonline.ru/2010/02/23/4600 ... y-ool.html

1- does anyone know what colour the Tuvan collar patches were ? blue for cavalry?

2- did all ranks wear collar patches or just officers ?

3- what rank insignia was used by the TUvan army pre 1941 ? they seem to have their own non-Soviet insignia.

Pat.
