The North Ingria Regiment (Finnish: Pohjois-Inkerin Rykmentti) was a military unit composed of Ingrian Finns from 1919-1920. The unit fought on the behalf of the Kirjasalo Republic during the Revolt of the Ingrian Finns.[1] The regiment was led by Georg Elfvengren, and the unit was established by the Pohjois-Inkerin Hoitokunta ('North Ingrian Caretaker Committee') in July 1919 and the unit was dissolved in December 1920.[2]
