    Default Searching for Georgian commanders

    I am attempting to find photographs of Georgian commanders from early XXth century, especially those who were alive between 1930 and 1950 for a mod for certain game.


    I have some gathered, but I need more, especially for the following commanders who served also in the Polish Army.



    Kazbegi Ivane

    Zakariadze Aleksandre

    Chkheidze Alexandre

    Shalikashvili Dmitri


    Aroniszydze Artemi (cannot find better spelling)

    Tumanishvili Giorgi

    Koniashvili Aleksandre



    Help with images and additional suggestions would be appreciated.

    Well,as for G.Tumanishvili,he's mostly known with Polonized form of his name Jerzy and I think it's definitely him
    http://www.google.ge/images?hl=ka&gb...%83%90&start=0
    I recall seeing his picture in a local military magazine and that was exactly this pic from wikimedia

    and Polish wiki has an article about him
    http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerzy_Tumaniszwili
    I've found some information on Georgian web pages about others,but with no pictures and Google search didn't return anything useful.

    Unfortunatelly all I have for now is this - which includes two Georgian generals in Polish uniforms

    http://www.audiovis.nac.gov.pl/obraz...a1b3d6052f15a/

    If I could find anything better that would be something.

    That is why I am hoping for some Georgian source to present something more detailed - maybe with misspelled names, from military discussion forums etc...

    Well,I can give a link to the book in Georgian about these officers,but I fear it might prove useless as I currently don't have time to translate it,anyway here it is.

    If I find time I will translate some parts,before this I've also found a topic about Georgians in Polish service on Axishistory forum

    Names aren't such a big problem - for example here I have the best list of Georgian officers in WP I could find in the web

    http://www.polska-zbrojna.pl/index.p...ria&Itemid=145

    Portraits/photographs are.
