6th Uhlan Regiment (Polish:6 Pułk Ułanów) – was an uhlan regiment in the Army of the Duchy of Warsaw.
It was formed in 1806 in Bydgoszcz.[2] At the end of 1809 roku the regiment was numbered at 610 soldiers.[3]
Uniform
Until 1809, the regiment bore the colours of the 3rd Division. The lapels and collar were white with yellow or gold accents.[4]
However, this was not so obvious, as in a letter dated 6 July 1807, Colonel Dziewanowski asked the Minister of War about the correct colours of his unit's uniform, because General Dąbrowski had decided, 'so that the collars and cuffs were crimson and the lapels white, and in this way he had many uniforms made.' and General Aksamitowski, who was then in charge of 3rd Division. 'he ordered them to make them all white.'[4]
From 1810 onwards the uniform of the regiment was:[5]
White collar with crimson trim. Navy blue lapels with crimson trim.
Navy blue lapels with crimson piping.[6]
Crimson Lampasse.
