In contrast to the cemetery at Leţcani, the crosses are made in wood, but are all named.

Probably the nameplates in aluminium withstood the wear and tear of the elements. May 1944 is one of the earliest dates on the crosses.

Might be a good idea to begin a preservation of the cemetary due to the wooden crosses. The one of the unknowns near Iasi had these and the nationality only but were removed and replaced with cement ones but the nationality was not placed on them afterwards.

Talking about general David Praporgescu and monuments, it was nice to see yesterday, that his grave and statue in the Bellu Cemetery had fresh flowers in front.

A little off topic, but here is gen. Praporgescu's tomb in the Bellu cemetery in Bucharest. Sorry for the poor quality (phone camera).

I came across this one two years ago on a visit to Sighisoara with my brother on holiday from Ireland, The monument is erected to the memory of members of the German community of Sighisoara, killed in Military Service in WW1.

It is in sand-stone and has suffered some graffiti by ignorant vandals!! mad.gif

The first picture reads: THE DEAD HEROES!

The Inscription loosely translated reads: " Erected to their memory by the Church members and the Berg school, in 1927."

If my memory serves me correctly there were the names of the dead inscribed on it as well I think to the rear.

I see a small plaque has been removed from the base as well.

Its time these monuments were afforded the protection they deserve as historical monuments before even more of Romania's rich history is lost forever.
