Hopefuly Carol I can translate my brutal copy of what is on the monument.

A larger photo would have helped, but I'll give it a try, Kevin.

This is an interestingly worded one in Black marble stone:-

Ana si Cap-.veteran Atanasie Dimitriu

1913 + 1901

Capitanul Romulus Dimitriu

Fost in Regimentele(?) Closca 22 Inf. si 1. Graniceri

In rasboiul pentru reintregirea neamului de trei ori, cu ranile inca sangerande trece in liniile intaie umbrite de flamurile tricolore. Cu un pluton uimind(?) in Dobrogea o divizie bulgara. Marastii ii incununeaza eroismul si distinctiuni romane si straine i-l recunosc. Invingator in lupte, cade invins fulgerator de fatalitatea cruda in 20 April 1920 in varsta 23 de ani.

"Formerly in Regiments 22^nd Infantry "Closca"(?) and 1^st Border Guards. In the war for national reunification, three times with wounds still bleeding got to the first lines under the tricolour flags. With a plutoon surprising(?) a Bulgarian division in Dobruja. The Mărăşti crowns his heroism and Romanian and foreign distinctions recognise it. Winner in battles, he was suddenly defeated by the cruel fate on 20 April 1920 at the age of 23."
