Riding-Master [Cavarly rank for Captain] talking with two of his Dragoons. Uudenmaan Rakuunarykmentti [URR] was part of Cavarly Brigade during World War II along with Häme Cavarly Regiment and two Jäger Battalions. During Continuation war the commander of URR was Lieutenant Colonel Hans von Essen, who received Mannerheim Cross when commanding the regiment. General of Infantry Adolf Ehrnrooth also served in the regiment as Riding-Master before World War 2 started. His brother, Colonel Gustaf Ehrnrooth commanded Häme Cavarly Regiment during Continuation War. The regiment was highly mobile, because horses were still used (but not in combat).
