Brian Wolfe Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Hi Kevin, What a great source for photos of these gentlemen. I must admit that when I first read your topic I thought it was a joke of some sort and didn't read it until today. I'm glad I finally noticed the section you had it posted in (not the Lounge) and realized it was a serious post. Thanks for taking the time to gather these images and posting them. Regards Brian
Kev in Deva Posted March 28, 2010 Author Posted March 28, 2010 (edited) Hallo Mike & Brian, I have found Romanian graveyards to be a great source of information, with regards military history, thanks to the tradition of putting pictures of the deceased on the headstones. This was my first visit to Bellu Cemetary in Bucharest, and I had no idea it would contain so much of interest, but, there are lots more pictures to come.
