Hail! Say I have correctly deciphered Dog Tag? If so then we get that the Romanian troops began military service at age 41 years and died at Odessa when he was 50 years old! This may tell us about the age limit in the Romanian army? Thanks in advance.

The way I know this, people were not drafted so late in their life.
Was he a professional?
My grandfather was 38 in 1941 and still with the army in 1945 at age 42, but being in the army was his job for many years before the war started.

@rixard, I don't think you deciphered the dog tag correctly, his ID number is: 15271391, his recruitment year is: 1939 that means if he was 21 years old when he was called, his birth year was 1918, by 1941 he was 23 years old.

One very important question for you: how do you know the owner of the Dog Tag died, did you discover a body?, in case you discover a body, you must IMMEDIATELY report this to the authorities and stop digging, this solder deserves a proper burial.

Regards!

PS. I reattached your image for a better view of what we are talking about.

Thank you for helping to understand! Perhaps you are right with the identification number, but I had never seen the Romanian Dog Tag with 8-digit number! Are you sure that this is possible?
Dog Tag I bought and the seller said that he found it with the bones.

Yet I have not heard the answer - it is a Dog Tag soldier of the 27th Infantry Regiment? There are ID numbers of the eight digits?
