And a better scan of the chest. I reckon I see the Turtucaia bar... perhaps someone with eagle eyes may elaborate more.
Cheers, Al  |

Hallo Denes  From which area of the Romanian Military Service did he join the military piloting school in 1919? Is it recorded? And does anybody know where in Romania he was born, lived, and is buried?? Kevin in Deva. |

Interesting to see he wears an Imperial Russian award (St.Stanislaus) beneath a Nazi German award: Ehrenzeichen für Deutsche Volkspflege am Band  Does anybody know if he had a medical occupation in his military career?

Nice Eye Candy, Romanian Military Virtue Cross, I Class Romanian Manhood & Loyalty Medal, Romanian Military Virtue Cross II Class, French Medal Militare. And possibly two Imperial Russian St. George Crosses however I might be wrong on that as the ribbon colour show no stripe. Kevin in Deva |
