[Kev in Deva]

BELLU CEMETERY March 19th 2011 Visit:-

The inscription loosely translates to:-

NICU T. HARITON

Lt. Reserve Reg 3 Heavy Artillery,

Decorated with Commemorative Cross "Marasesti"

Born 6 February 1895 - Died: 1 March 1919

He took an active part in the war for unifying the nation.

The medal appears to be an artistic rendition of the Romanian

Commemorative Cross of War with the "MARASESTI" battle bar.

Possibly the award came Postmortem and the family had it added

to the picture for the monument.

Looking at the uniform of Mr. VIRLAN I believe he was in Romanian Civil Aviation.
