Russian awards to Romanian soldiers

Great medals bar !!!
From Museum ?

Hallo,

This beautiful set of Romanian Medals recently sold on Ebay Germany for over 900 Euros

What drove the price high was the two Russian medals

The only things I thought odd was there was no medal of Victory for WW1 on the bar?? The original owner would certainly have been entitled to one, and the last medal was the Civil service version with the Romanian royal coat of Arms on the rear instead of the lettering.

How do I know that? I hear you ask

The reverse photo was posted on the original auction

Lieutenant General. I can not read the signature of the Generals name. A very large photo dated Dec, 28, 1930. On the back is written "Died July 12, 1936". This General was awarded and wears on his uniform the Breast Star of Saint Stanislav 1st class with swords, Order of Saint Stanislav with swords 1st or 2nd class, the Order of Saint Vladimir with swords 3rd or 4th class, and the order of Saint Anne 3rd or 4th class. Also what is interesting is his polish buttons. You can see the photographer in them taking the Generals photo.

Close up.

Good photo !!!

Badges of Order of st. Stanislav 1st class - star and cross,
Order of st. Vladimir with swards 3rd class and
Order of st. Anne 2nd class .

Does anyone recognize this General or can read the signature name on the photo ?

Căpitan Chiriţescu Ştefan

The Order of the Crown has been awarded to Lt. Chiriţescu Ştefan of the 30th Muşcel Regiment for the bravery with which he led his company in the battle at Marghiloman Hill.

The Order of the Star has been awarded to Capt. Chiriţescu Ştefan of the 30th Infantry Regiment for the bravery with which he led his company in the fights at Dealul Porcului (Pig Hill - Hill 528) on 16-21 August 1917. Continuously in the midst his unit he has bloodily repelled the 12 fierce attacks of the enemy who had wanted to break the front at that point. Being wounded three times on the 21 August 1917 he had continued to stay on positions maintaining the command of his company until nightfall.

I have found a reference to King Carol I receiving the second class of the Russian Order of St George. Thus, on 5 September 1877 he had received the third class of the order for "the excellent deeds in the war with the Turks". Then, on 29 November 1877 he had received the second class of the order "for the conquest of the Plevna stronghold and the capture of Osman Pasha's army on 28 November 1877". On the same date he had also received the collar of the Russian Order of St. Andrew.

I have updated the list of Romanian recipients of the Russian Order of St. George

1877-1878 War
1. Prince Carol I (29 November 1877) - second class (third class on 5 September 1877)
2. Brig. Gen. Alexandru Cernat (6 September 1877) - fourth class
3. Maj. Alexandru Candiano-Popescu (award date ?) - fourth class

1916-1918 War
1. King Ferdinand I (15 March 1918) - third class
2. Lt. Gen. Alexandru Averescu (9 June 1917) - fourth class
3. Lt. Gen. Eremia Grigorescu (January 1917) - fourth class
4. Lt. Gen. Constantin Prezan (January 1917) - fourth class
5. Maj. Gen. Henry Cihoschi (award date ?) - fourth class
6. Maj. Gen. Alexandru Mărgineanu (award date ?) - fourth class
7. Col. Alexandru Alexiu (25 March 1918) - fourth class
8. Col. Ioan Cristofor (25 March 1918) - fourth class
9. Lt. Col. Virgil Dumbravă (25 March 1918) - fourth class
10. Lt. Iosef Ceobanu (25 March 1918) - fourth class
11. Lt. Simeon Pretul (25 March 1918) - fourth class

King Karol I not receive 2nd class of order.

King receive 4th class (1st order) and 3rd class ( 2nd ORDER , not class ) !!!


2nd class - neck cross and breast star .

I have found the information on a Russian site on the Order of St. George. I admit the possibility that it could be an error, but on the other hand the site seems pretty well informed. I think the final proof would be a copy of the award records or a photo of the name plates in the St. George Hall.

So what? He could have received the star, but chose not to wear it.

King Karol I receive ONLY one st. George Order -
Order of st. George 3rd class in 1877 .

Not 4th and not 2nd !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
