Here are four fragments of the memoirs of actor and director http://xoomer.virgilio.it/iodragu/rumeno.htm (1882-1969).

The first one, published in SMM no 8/204 is entitled http://www.presamil.ro/SMM/2004/08/pag%2030-32.htm and refers to his military service in 1903 with the 6th Guard Infantry Regiment Mihai Viteazul. A very enjoyable read IMO.

The other three deal exclusivelly with the first three weeks of war for the reservist officer of the 3rd Battalion/42nd Infantry Regiment. A very honest and rather objective account of the fighting in the Sibiu area.

1. http://www.presamil.ro/SMM/2004/10/pag%2033-35.htm from SMM no. 10/2004
2. http://www.presamil.ro/SMM/2004/11-12/pag%2052-54.htm from SMM no. 11-12/2004
3. http://www.presamil.ro/SMM/2005/1/30_Memorii%20inedite.htm from SMM no. 1/2005

Unfortunately they are only in Romanian and the online translators I tried are very inaccurate, because it contains many older words.

Enjoy!
