    and then a stroll through the Artillery park located outside

    in the gardens to the rear of the building, for a breath of fresh air.

    Hallo Carol I :beer::jumping:

    many thanks for the clarifications with regards the above,

    I will be heading for Bucharest again this week for the St. Patrick's Day Function

    on the 17th, I will be making my annual visit to the Romanian military museum the next day

    for some variety I might concentrate on the small artillery park in the gardens this year.

    Romanian "Crusade Against Communism" 1941 Medal & Battle Bars.

    Amongst them is one in Silver, so far I can find no reason for this

    to be a different colour from the others (pos. Maker variation?)
