| I would like to have some more information about the regimental badges that were in use during Carol II’s reign. I have to admit that I know almost nothing about them except that they were introduced by Carol II for the officers that served a number of years (7 or more) in a particular regiment. I think I read somewhere that he thus tried to introduce a tradition similar to that of the French regiments, but the use of regimental badges did not seem to last long in the Romanian army. Do you know when they were introduced and how did their use come to an end? Was it an official decision to discontinue their use? Were there any other badges used in the Romanian army except the pilot and observer badges as well as the badges of the graduates of the Military Academy?
I think I have somewhere photos of two regimental badges. I will post the images as soon as I will find them. But I will appreciate if you would post any image of the regimental badges in your collections. Carol I |

| This is not a Romanian regimental badge, but it is somehow related to Romania.
It belongs to the Russian 18th Infantry Regiment "King of Romania". 
This unit was also called 18th Infantry Regiment "Wologda". |

| A reference book supposedly exists written in Romanian. I have seen a copy of a page from it. Maybe someone in the Forum knows of it. I have several of the badges and will try to post them for you. I gave up trying to collect them because of the sheer number and lack of information.

I am not into collecting regimental badges, but when I stumbled upon some images I have also found that there is very little information about them. |

What's the story behind this regiment? How they got this name? I presume that was during WW I, isn't it? |
| Posted by: Carol I January 15, 2004 10:42 pm | ||
Sorry, I do not know the history of this regiment. But I guess that it got the "King of Romania" name during the visit of King Carol I to Russia sometime in the end of the 19th century. It was common practice to give a regiment the name of a visiting sovereign and to the sovereign an honorary commission in that regiment. |
| Posted by: Cuza January 15, 2004 10:50 pm | ||||
According to Andolenko Carol I was the honorary commander of the Vologda (as opposed to Wologda) Infantry Regiment from 1898 to 1917. Vologda is a Russian province north of Moscow. I don't know anything else about the regiment. |

Since I have posted the images of the badges of the hussar regiments, I think the remark was directed to me. But unfortunately I did not understand it. |
| Posted by: Victor June 04, 2004 09:41 pm |
| The translation Rosior=Hussar is not really an appropiate one. |
| Posted by: Carol I June 04, 2004 09:42 pm | ||
What would be the appropriate translation then? |
| Posted by: Victor June 05, 2004 07:26 am |
| Regular cavalry.
But a translation is not realy indicated, as these names are characteristic to the Romanian traditions (the Rosii cavalry corps dates back to the 16th-17th century) as the Huszar is to the Hungarian one. |
| Posted by: Carol I June 05, 2004 08:38 am | ||||
Cavalry is a more general term that encompasses many other cavalry types such as hussars, dragoons or cuirassiers.
I guess that some sort of a translation is needed, in order to properly identify this type of cavalry corps of the Romanian army. Indeed, among the many cavalry types, the ones that made it to the modern (even contemporary) times in many different European armies is the light cavalry usually known as hussars. And my opinion is that the Rosiori corps of the Romanian army represents a light cavalry that resembles most the hussars of other armies. Do you think Red Hussars is a better name for them? The term hussar might indeed have originated from 15th century Hungary, but then it described a type of light cavalry that did not exist in other armies of that time. But, as you probably know, the hussars were adopted by many other armies such as the Prussian, French or British and they do not all acknowledge the Hungarian origin. Some British sources say for example that the word hussar is supposed to have come from the Italian corsaro as they used more or less the same tactics in the beginning. But this is a completely different issue. |
| Posted by: Victor June 05, 2004 07:01 pm |
| The Rosiori were the regular cavalry untis of the Romanian army prior to 1890. The only other cavalry units were the calarasi, who were the territorial cavalry. There was no light/heavy cavalry.
Probably the closest equivalent in the western army would be the uhlans. But I would stick to the Romanian term. |

I was joking with you. However, I wouls buy the badge if ever you want to get rid of it. Is there a reference book that I can obtain that shows the various regimental badges of the Romanian army pre WW2/ |
| Posted by: Carol I June 06, 2004 09:16 am |
| As I mentioned in the original post, I have only the images of the badges, not the badges themselves. So I am in no position to "want to get rid of them". I hope you understand now why I was puzzled by your remark. |

| The Romanian Regiment that had Czar Nicholas 2 of Russia as Honory Commander -en-Cheif was the 5th Roshiori Cavalry Regiment. Not the 7th Roshiori Cavalry Regiment. The 5th Roshiori Regiment existed from 1895-1945. What I find fascinating about this regiment is that they wore the Russian Czar Nichaloas 2 cyphers on their epaulets after 1917 Russian Revolution and the death of N2 and continued to wear the insignia on their uniforms during WW2. I find this interesting. What was the reason for this continued wear of the Nicholas insignia on the uniforms. The Russians in WW2 must have found this to be interesting as well. Second Questioned to this topic, I understand that the Military Museum is finally putting together a reference book on regimental badges to be published later this year. Can anyone shed some light on this ? |

5th ROSHIORI REGIMENT, SECOND LEIUTENANT, 1937 HERE IS A PHOTO THAT HAS ME SCRATCHING MY HEAD. THIS DASHING YOUNG CAVALRY OFFICER OF THE 5TH ROSHIORI CAVALRY REGIMENT WEARS THE CYPHER OF CZAR NICHOLAS II OF RUSSIA ON HIS SHOULDER BOARDS AND ON THE CAVALRY INSIGNIA PATCH THAT IS ON THE FRONT OF HIS VISOR CAP. HOWEVER, HE HOLDS A WW1 IMPERIAL RUSSIAN CZARIST OFFICERS SWORD. WAS THIS STANDARD WEAR FOR THESE OFFICERS ? DID THEY WEAR IMPERIAL RUSSIAN SWORDS INSTED OF ROYAL ROMANIAN SWORDS....OR COULD THIS HAVE BEEN AN ISOLATED CASE IN WHICH WE HAD AN OFFICER OF ROMANIAN-RUSSIAN DECENT WHOS FATHER MAY HAVE SERVED IN THE IMPERIAL RUSSIAN ARMY AND HIS SON WEARS HIS FATHERS SWORD. THERE WERE SEVERAL EXILED WHITE RUSSIAN CZARIST OFFICERS WHO SERVED IN THE ROMANIAN MILITARY AFTER THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION. |
| Posted by: REGAL UNIFORMA COLECTOR June 13, 2004 06:39 pm |
| 5TH ROSHIORI CAVALRY REGIMENT - WW2 FOR ANYONE IN DISBELEIF, THIS REGIMENT DID INDEED WEAR CZAR NICHOLAS 2 CYPHER DURING WW2 AND WORE IT INTO RUSSIA THEY DID. HERE ARE 2 EXAMPLES OF OFFICERS SHOULDER BOARDS FROM THE 5TH ROSHIORI CAVARY REGIMENT OF CZAR NICHOLAS 2 OF RUSSIA. 1ST PAIR - LIEUTENANT COLONEL, MODEL 1942 WITH SUBDEUD PLASTIC BUTTON. 2ND PAIR - COLONEL, PRE-1942 WITH GILT BUTTON. HOWEVER, DURING THE UNIFORM BUTTON CHANGE THAT OCCURED WHEN GILT BUTTONS WERE REMOVED FROM THE UNIFORMS AND REPLACED WITH SUBDEUD BUTTONS OF KHAKI GREEN AND DARK BROWN IN COLOR, THE CAVALRY CONTINUED TO WEAR THEIR GILT BUTTONS THROUGH 1945. I USE THE DATE OF 1942 AS A REFERENCE OF UNIFORM CHANGE WHEN GILT BUTTONS WERE REMOVED FOR SUBDUED ONES, BUT ACTUALLY, THE PRACTICE I BELEIVE STARTED IN 1941 AND COMPLETED CHANGE IN 1942. ANY ONE KNOW FOR SURE ? :?: ' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> |

As far as I remember the mountain horn was the traditional insignia of the Vânători de munte (were they not the mountain troops?). According to the photos in the links below, the mountain horn was still present on the uniforms of the Vânători de munte during WWII, so it is quite likely that it was used as insignia in the 1930s. http://worldwar2.ro/forum/viewtopic.php?p=14003#14003 http://worldwar2.ro/forum/viewtopic.php?p=14004#14004 [quote]Btw, there were no mountain troop regiments, just battalions.[/quote] Then this was the badge of a battalion, not a regiment? |

http://www.worldwar2.ro/oob/?unit=10&language=en |
| Posted by: REGAL UNIFORMA COLECTOR August 03, 2004 01:27 pm |
| Vanatori - Translates as Hunter or Sharpshooter. It was a term used for the Infantry Rifle Regiments. The insignia is the hunting horn.
Vanatori de Munte - Is a term for the Mountain Rifle units. These were formed as battalions and were trained for mountain combat and had excellant skiing abilities. Some of these regimental badges are found with skiis on them. The insignia for the Vanatori de Munte is the hunting horn with a pine branch cluster. |
| Posted by: Victor August 03, 2004 01:54 pm |
| The vanatori were the elite of the infantry during the 19th century and early 20th century. However, after WWI, any differences between them and the regular infantry were erased and only the name remained, as military tradition.
The vanatori de munte were the mountain troops created during WWI and expanded later into a different army section, with different organization. The mountain troops insignia also includes, IIRC, the Queen's Flower (also known as the Corner Flower under Communism) |

| The Vanatori de Munte badge is a combination of the Ruling House Order with pine neeble branch clusters of the Vanatori de Munte. Perhaps, this was one of the Battalions that the King or Prince was associated with ???
The CIG badge is an extreamly rare piece. Only one CIG Commadant Inspector General at a time per branch of service. Cavalry and Infantry branches also had a CIG Inspector General, but I have never seen what these badges look like. I beleive that the Military Museum in Bucharest does not have any examples of CIG badges in their collection. Very rare and how many made ? I do not know. The CIG had a small staff of adjutant officers. Did the staff officers also wear the badge or only the Commadant ? |

The 18th Russian Infantry Regiment “Vologda”, with the 17th Russian Infantry Regiment “Archangelgorod”, forming the 2nd Brigade of the 5th Division, stormed Turkish Grivitza 1 redoubt on the 3rd assault of Plevna of 30th August / 11th September 1877. During that attack Romanian and Russian troops succeeded to occupy the redoubt. In order to commemorate this event, and to warm the icy relations exting between Russia and Romania in the end of Russo-Turkish War of 1877-78, in 1898 the Romanian King Carol I was named “Colonel-in-Chief “ of this unit. All officers and men wore Russian uniforms but with Carol’s cipher on the shoulder boards. From 1900 princes Ferdinand and, later, Carol (the future Carol II) were registered in the same unit. In 1906, during the 40th anniversary of King Carol's ascension to the throne, he received an officer sword, from the Russian commander of the 18th Regiment, in order to be carried when King Carol wears the Russian uniform. There is a well known photo presenting King Carol I, with royal princes Ferdinand and Carol, during the Czar visit in Constanta, in June 1914. All the Romanian Highnesses wore the 18th Infantry Regiment “Vologda” uniform. |

In June 1914, when Czar Nicholas II and his family visited Constanta, King Carol I has organized several ceremonies in his high guest’s honour. Among these was a military parade of the troops garrisoned in Constanta. The 5th Rosiori regiment participated at that parade and impressed the Czar. Carol was agreeably surprised by Nicholas II remarks and decided on the spot to offer the honorary command of this regiment to the Czar. This was later sanctioned by the Royal Decree No. 2673 of 5th July 1914. The 5th Rosiori Regiment “Emperor Nicholas II of Russia” kept this title and cipher long time after the Russian revolution, until the WW2. |

I think this is the right model, as it was described in Guido Rosignoli's book, Army Badges and Insignia of World war 2. Vol.1, Blandford Press, London, 1974. Carol II was appointed colonel-in-chief of the 57th Polish Infantry Regiment in summer 1937, when he visited Poland with Great Voivode Mihai. This was a complimentary gesture of Polish authorities as a result of President Pilsudski appointment as honorary commander of the 16th Dorobanti regiment in the 1920s. |

The original name of the image is 'insreg57copy.jpg'. Is this badge a recently made copy? If not and the badge is real, is it known who was the original owner? Was it King Carol II as the colonel-in-chief of the Polish regiment?
Was diplomacy the only reason for this award? |

Here is a similar badge, currently sold on eBay (notice the differences between various details): Gen. Dénes |

The badge is real but it was restored before it was put on display, that’s it looks so brilliant. I don’t think that it belonged to King Carol but the Museum’s specialist, Professor Cornel Andonie, told me that it could be offered by Polish military authorities, at the end of 1930s together with other artifacts (uniforms, orders and medals, weapons, a colour). They were recently displayed in a temporary exhibition dedicated to the Polish contribution in WW2, opened with the Polish Cultural Institute of Bucharest. The colour of the 57th Infantry Regiment was awarded with “Michael the Brave” order, 3rd Class, by king Carol II, on 25th of June 1937, for “ the bravery they proved on the bloody fights of Waski, Jarow, Brezyna, Choluj, Swislocz and Tartakovicze and the battle near Warsaw and the pursuit of the enemy until 20th of October 1920, the armistice day,…” (Royal decree nr. 2625 of 22nd of June 1937). In the same day, King Carol II was promoted colonel-in-chief of the regiment. (Information courtesy by Professor Cornel Andonie of the National Military Museum) |

| Posted by: Kepi December 20, 2005 09:17 am | ||
The badge belonged to the volunteers of territorial cavalry units (Calarasi). Traditionally, the territorial cavalrymen were long term service soldiers and took turns (which means “Cu Schimbul”) in doing their service. According the regulation adopted in October 1940 in the territorial cavalry units volunteers who brought their own horses were allowed to carry a special badge representing a horse shoe and a head of a horse. It’s interesting to note that there were also special badges for those volunteers who used their own motorcycles for the service within the reconnaissance sub-units or as couriers (“MOTOCICLIST CU SCHIMBUL”) or brought their horse for horse artillery units (“ARTILERIST CU SCHIMBUL”). http://imageshack.us http://imageshack.us http://imageshack.us |

Thanks Kepi for the information. Are the images related in any way to the books on Romanian badges which is due to appear in the Dorobanţul series? |
| Posted by: Kepi December 21, 2005 06:37 am | ||
I’m sorry. I forgot to mention the source of the drawings. They were published in the appendix of the “Regulation of the horse troopers and motorcyclists by turns” (“Regulamentul trupei cu schimbul calare si a motociclistilor cu schimbul”), Bucharest 1940, pages 41- 42. This regulation could be found in the National Military Museum library. |
| Posted by: Kepi December 21, 2005 07:02 am | ||||
I hope this badges will be also presented in the next issue of “Dorobantul” series. As far as I know, professor Cornel Andonie, who is the author of this book, intend to describe mainly the regimental (“7 years”) badges, but also other specialist or qualification badges. I don’t know if all these badges could be included in 8 colour plates. It seems that the book will be released at the end of 2006. |

It was formed in 1891 by joining the 21st Dorobanti Regiment Ilfov with the 4th Line Infantry Regiment, stationed also in Bucharest at the time. However, the 4th Line Regiment was initially created from two battalions of the Moldavian Musketeer Regiment andwas thus considered its successor. That is why it has the Moldavian coat of arms. But during WW1 and WW2 it was a unit manned mostly by bucuresteni (mitici  ) |

The 35th Infantry Regiment Neagoe Basarab was stationed at Cetatea Alba/Akkerman/Belgorod during the 30s, hence the image on its badge. |

I don't understand, do you say it's a copy. Mine it's missing the Aeronautical Virtue Order. It's an original piece I have it from a frined whose uncle was an airforce mecanic in ww2. |
| Posted by: b737 June 19, 2008 09:30 am |
| Sorry,but from my point of wiew it is a copy! Maybe an old one but it is a copy! The leafs and the wreath are not clear,the manufacturing is rude and the needle is atypical for a regimental badge! Don't forget that the regimental badges(as i know) have been awarded to officers ! Your friend's uncle was a mechanic that means ... there is a 90% probability that he was not an officer(ask your friend)! It is possible that the members of this regiment/unit, have made copies from the original badge for themselves. You can compare the dimensions from your badge with an original one, for example with the badge from the Aeronautical or Military Museum in Bucharest! You can try to contact them , maybe they can help you. It would be interesting to know their opinion. |

I do not beleive that this badge is a copy. I have several WW2 Air Force badges of the same construction, sand cast. They also have the same pins with the rib design on them. All show wear and age to them and are of the period. I beleive that they were crudely made out in the field using the sand cast method of making molds and from metals found from melting down bullits and coins. Silver, nickle, brass and copper. Some of my badges were also veteran aquired. If they did not have the age, wear and provinance history of were and from whom they were aquired from, I too would say that they were fake badges. Last year, I came across a General Staff Acadamy badge that was also sand cast and made out in the field during WW2. Collectors are too use to seeing quality pieces made from jewlers and from the National Mint that they often look at cruder war time made pieces as being fake. |

Some of the pics, especially in the beginning of the topic (for example http://www.worldwar2.ro/forum/index.php?showtopic=525&st=15#, http://www.worldwar2.ro/forum/index.php?showtopic=525&st=60# and http://www.worldwar2.ro/forum/index.php?showtopic=525&st=90#), can't be seen. Would you mind re-uploading these images? Please. |

The badges were usually awarded after 4 years of service in the regiment. In case of the first two units you mentioned, the units themselves did not exist 7 years prior to WW2 so, theoretically, there were no badges to be awarded. The 18th Artillery Regiment should have had a regimental badge though. |

Could be the the badge for the 20th Mountain Battalion, but, like above, this unit had not been around for 7 years to to have a badge and was in the 4th Mountain Brigade, while Mociulschi served in the 1st and then 3rd. |

It means the wearer has 20 years experience in the Mountain corps. There are also badges with 10 and 15 in roman numerals for years of service. |

| Czar Nicholas was Honorary Colonel -en-Chief of the 7th Roshiori Cavalry Regiment. His Cypher was used into the start of WW2. Not sure if cypher removed when unit entered Russia? http://www.worldwar2.ro/forum/index.php?showtopic=2354&hl=czar+nicholas |

| Iulian, "16th regiment"is vague. It can be Infantry, Artilery or anything else. More input. |
