Very interesting information, thank you, it was in my location. About the position of the Georgian authorities in those years also known...

As for grade 400 light machine guns, then according to my information, here we are dealing with a "Vickers" -

Hello Mher,

thanks for telling me about this forum, Christopher Walker published another book- "Visions of Ararat" and mentions this about the early Armenian army.

1st January 1918 , Armenian Corps consisted of-

2 divisions of Armenian rifles each with 4 regiments, each regiment of 3 battalions.

3 brigades of Armenian volunteers (Turkish Armenians) , each with 4 battalions per brigade.

cavalry brigade of 2 regiments per brigade, 4 squadrons per regiment

some battalions of militia.

rifle divisions formed from the men of the "druzhiny" or riflemen formerly of the imperial army

6 batteries of 4 field guns for each of the 2 divisions

mountain gun batteries for the volunteer brigades.

battalions fairly weak 400-600 strength.

24 battalions of riflemen, 8 battalions of volunteers.

16 000 infantry, 1000 cavalry, 4000 volunteers

John.

Hello ,

did the Armenian army use armbands (in national colours) or have any national identification badges or insignia

worn on the sleeves ?

Hello,

just looking at those "Critical past" film stills posted by alligatorzz, and the first film showing troops parading, has

them in dark shoulder straps which are the same shade as a photo of Russian rifle troops that appears in

"The Russian army 1914-18" by Nik Cornish- which are crimson.

The second "Critical past " link is also interesting. Scroll down to the second group of troops parading and you

will see artillerymen as indicated by the crossed cannons on the shoulder straps (red colour in the Imperial army),

plus the short sword or "tesak" which was originally issued to gunners and sappers , but by 1914 was worn by guardsmen.

Note the piping down the front of the shirt, which in the Imperial army indicated guard units.

As the troops in these films are wearing pre 1917 coloured shoulder straps/boards could this show that the Armenian army simply continued to use Russian insignia rather than introducing their own coloured straps and insignia ? I would assume that if such Armenian insignia were introduced then the details would be known by now with historical archives opened to researchers and historians.

John.
