    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 22nd Infantry "Closca"(?) and 1st 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."

    In the upper right corner is a depiction of

    the Romanian Mihai Vitezu for bravery and

    the Queen Maria Cross for nursing.

    Under this the following:-

    "CE A ARATAT PE CAMPUL DE LUPTA LA PREDEAL IN 1916

    CAND VAZAND CA LA O COMPANIE AU CAZUT TOTI OFITERII A LUAT

    DIN PROPRIA INITIATIVA COMANDA EI SI A CONDUS - O

    CU ENERGIE LA ASALT.

    DEASEMENIA A DESFASURAT UN MARE ZEL IN COMBATEREA

    BOALELOR CONTAGIOASE."

    NALY DECRET REGAL 547.

    Rough translation "During the Battle of Predeal the officer seeing that all other officers were killed or wounded took command and lead a energetic assault.

    He was also untiring in the fight against contagious disease.

    By Royal Decree 547."
