    Hallo Gents, :beer:

    on March the 19th 2011 I had a quick visit to Bellu Cemetery, I did not get as long as I wanted, due to being at the Romanian Military Aviation Museum earlier in the day, however, I did locate and photograph some very nice monuments with pictures of eye-candy :love: and will be adding them here over the next few days.

    Starting with:-

    Left to right:

    Lt. Aviator Theodor Papastopol

    1897 - 1921

    Lt. Aviator Gh. Stalpeaiiu

    1896 - 1921

    Possibly killed in the same incident.

    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.

    Generalul NICOLAE MÀRÀSESCU

    Knight of the Order of M. VITEAZU

    INVALID OF WAR.

    Took part in the Campaigms of:-

    1877-78 (Independence War.)

    1913 (Balkan War.)

    1916-18 (First World War.)

    Died on the 25th February 1934.

    Now some of you might be scratching your heads with regards the picture

    of the General, as clearly the pictures are missing from the monument.

    However sometimes it pays to look at the back of the monuments:-

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