4th Galician Uhlans (Emperor's)

The Austro-Hungarian Uhlan Regiment "Kaiser" No. 4 was a cavalry unit in the Joint Army within the Austro-Hungarian Land Forces.

In 1915, all honorary names were deleted without replacement. From then on, the association was only called "k.u.k. Uhlan Regiment No. 4" (However, this could not be enforced in common parlance, on the one hand because no one adhered to it, on the other hand the thrifty Austro-Hungarian military administration had decreed that all existing stamps and forms should first be used up).

The regiment had a golden holder's jubilee medal, awarded by the Supreme Letter of Order of 30 November 1898, to be worn on a silver trumpet of honour. On the obverse, it showed the relief portrait of the emperor in the owner's uniform, the inscription "Franz Joseph I:" and the shield of the Most High coat of arms with crown. The reverse contained the dedication: "The owner of his Uhlan regiment No. 4, 1848 - 1898". The trumpet of honour was decorated with gold relief and an embroidered gold fabric hanging.
