ULAN (formerly spelt Uhlan) , originally a
Polish
  cavalry soldier armed with a lance. These troops were
light
  cavalry. and wore the
national
  dress and czapka (or lancer cap). They were introduced into the Prussian service in 1740, but failed to distinguish themselves in the first Silesian War, and it was only after the treaty of Tilsit (1807) that
Ulan
  regiments were again formed in the Prussian army. In the Austrian army a " Uhlanpulk " of Poles was formed in 1784 and
ordinary
 
Ulan
  regiments of Austrian cavalry in 1791. The Austrian Ulans no longer
carry the lance. In the
German
  army of to-day Ulans are classed as heavy cavalry and
wear
  the distinctive lancer dress inherited from the
original
 
Polish
 
light
 
horse
 . (See CAVALRY and LANCE.)
