Ivan Kolev Stoyanov ((ブルガリア語:Иван Колев Стоянов))〔Тошкин, Ат., Рабанджийска, Ан., Куманов, М. - „Третото българско царство 1879–1946. Историческа енциклопедия“, С., КК „Труд“, 2003 - с.188〕 (born on 15 September 1863 in Banovka, died on 29 July 1917 in Vienna) was a Bulgarian lieutenant general and distinguished cavalry commander during World War I. ==Biography== Ivan Kolev was born in the Bessarabian village of Banovka, then part of Romania, which was founded by Bulgarian refugees from Thrace and situated about 25 kilometers to the east of Bolhrad.〔S. Nedev (2005) page 9〕 Ivan received his primary education in his birthplace and from 1875 continued studying in the Bolhrad High School which he graduated in 1882. After this he wanted to become a teacher in Banovka but his application was rejected and instead Kolev became a clerk in the local municipality. In 1884 he moved to Sofia where he worked as assistant secretary of the Sofia District Court and was soon promoted to secretary. A year later Ivan took part in the defense of the unification of the Principality of Bulgaria and the province of Eastern Rumelia as volunteer in the Student's Legion during the Serbo-Bulgarian War.〔S. Nedev (2005) page 9〕 On 14 January 1886 he was admitted to the Military School in Sofia and due to his high grades the young cadet was assigned to study in the artillery section. This however did not satisfied him as Ivan was fond of riding and declared that he would leave the military service unless he was assigned in the cavalry.〔S. Nedev (2005) page 9〕 Kolev finally got what he'd wished for, graduated the Military School on 27 April 1887 as a Lieutenant and was assigned to the Third Cavalry Regiment. On 18 May 1890 he was promoted to first lieutenant and after completing the necessary exams was admitted to the Military Academy of Turin in early 1892. On 2 August 1894 Kolev was promoted to rotmister and returned to Bulgaria after having successfully graduated in Italy.〔S. Nedev (2005) page 9〕 Soon after he was assigned as an officer to the General Staff of the Bulgarian Army and lectured the officers in the cavalry school on military history. Following his initiative the youngest cavalry officers underwent special cavalry courses and the first army horse races were organized. During the autumn 1898 he attended army maneuvers in Romania and in 1904 was promoted to lieutenant colonel In 1907 Kolev was sent to train in the Austrian Army and was assigned to the 7th Uhlan Regiment in Pardubice. In 1908 he returned to Bulgaria, promoted to colonel and assigned to command the His Majesty's Life Guard Cavalry Regiment - the elite cavalry unit of the army and honor escort unit of the Bulgarian monarch. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ivan Kolev (general)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
