dragos03 Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 Kevin,help please !!! I'll help you with the translation:"The Order of the Crown, knight class with swords, was awarded to 2nd Lieutenant Chiritescu Stefan from 30th Regiment Muscel, for the bravure and skill he showed when he commanded his company during the fighting on Marghiloman Hill."
dragos03 Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 The document for the Order of the Star:"Captain Chiritescu Stefan is awarded the Order of the Star, knight, with ribbon for military virtue, for the bravure and skill with which he led his company during the fighting on the Pig's Hill (Hill 528), during 16-21 August 1917. He stayed with his men at all times and repulsed after a bloody combat the 12 assaults made by the enemy, who wanted to break the front lines at this point. He was wounded in action 3 times on 21 August 1917 but stayed with his men, continuing to command his unit until nightfall."
Igor Ostapenko Posted June 23, 2006 Author Posted June 23, 2006 dragos03 THANK YOU !!!! May be you know some about this brave soldier ?
dragos03 Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 The other documents are not very relevant. The first one simply confirms that he was awarded the Russian Order of St. Anne, 3rd Class, while the small document confirms that he received the bravery ribbon for his service in WW1.As for his Order of Michael the Brave, he received it by Royal Decree no. 849/11 July 1917, "for the courage with which he led his company during the fierce combat on 11-15 June 1917, when he enveloped the Southern flank of the Manastioara Hill, forcing the enemy to abandon the position and capturing 2 officers, 150 soldiers and many weapons. He showed the same military qualities during the battles of Racoasa and Serei Valley."
