Just found a church in a very small village northwest of Iasi. It has a small monument telling telling us about the unknown heroes who died in August 1944 and has about 50 crosses of unknown Romanian, German and Soviet soldiers. The road was small and muddy then had to walk up about 100 steps to reach it.

RHaught, can you post some pictures? They tell more than a story...
Here is the local Heroes Monument from the village of Geamana, Dambovita county.  |

Leave July 20th for the states. Have to celebrate wedding anniversary upon arriving but have pics of the cemetary. However, only have my camera right now (no cord for USB) but will post once I get back. There are also WWI and WWII hero sections in the cemetery in Roman (didn't have my camera with me since we were there for a 40 remembrance thing, not Orthodox so do not know the correct term for this).

There is also a smal plot for 73 soviet soldiers fallen in 1944.

The remainder of the cemetery appears to be for Romanian soldiers.
