Graduated at the Elisavetgrad Cavalry School in 1881

At the end of July 1881 31 Bulgarian youths, who at the beginning of 1879 had been sent to Elisavetgrad in Russia to study at the Cavalry Cadet School, were finally graduated. The Russian General Staff informed immediately the Bulgarian Military Ministry, asking what their assignment was. Waiting for an answer, they stood in the school until the end of August, when they left Russia directed to Varna. On 8 September with Edict N° 55 they were all promoted to the rank of second lieutenant. The new officers were soon distributed to their units : part of them moved to Shumen to serve in the cavalry regiment, the others were shared among the artillery regiment in Shumen and the Sofiyski artillery division in Samokov and Dupnitza.
