Generālis Jānis Balodis, Latvia’s most successful general, photographed in 1920 wearing the M1919 grey Latvian Army field uniform. The so-called ‘Balodis cap’ is characterized by the shallow crown and deep band, which bears the first-pattern ‘sunburst’ badge. His M1919 rank insignia show large 4-point gold metal stars on a dark red collar patch with a white diagonal stripe. The ‘K’ just visible on the shoulder strap indicates the Courland Div, which Balodis commanded 15 July–16 October 1919, after which he served as Army C-in-C until February 1921. He wears the neck cross of a Commander of the French Légion d’Honneur. (Toomas Boltowsky Collection)
