His shoulder boards are of the twisted braid with 3 stars on them. This I beleive is the highest FRN rank similar to a Lieutenant General. This photo looks like it was taken just prior to the war as he does not have all the wrinkles on his face as the other 2 photos show of him on this site. Who is this person ?

Major General with 10 place ribbon bar, 2nd class neck Order of the Star, 1 wound stripe on sleeve. The back of the photo is in hand writting that I can hardly read. Greatings, General Ely O..... , Dec 25, 1946. I cannot find a listing of this General under this name.

14 place ribbon bar. Visor cap has the Ferdinand Naval Cap insignia.

Isn't he Horia Macellariu ?

The "rosette" show he is "Officier" of the Légion d'Honneur. http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Lobby...img/legdhon.jpg * copy and past in browser *

I have managed to identify the badge in question. It is the Greek Order of the Orthodox Crusaders of Jerusalem.

Can you read the first initial in the signature of the foto ? I think it may be the letter "S". Alexandru Costescu - General Infantry WW1 Constantin Costescu - General Infantry WW1 Dumitri Costescu - General Infantry WW1 Nicolae Costescu - General Infantry WW2 Stefan Costescu - General. Information, year and branch of military UNKNOWN. ....and there could be a few more General Costescus I don't know of.
