Hello,

We can read this in 2lt Nicolescu war journal:

" At my request I obtain the command of the Reconnaissance Company, which is the elite company of any mountain battalion. The Company has 120 men in three platoons: 1st Alpine scouts Platoon (2nd lieutenant Victor Botocan), 2nd Mounted scouts Platoon (2nd lieutenant Ion Coroiu), 3rd Reconnaissance Platoon (2nd lieutenant Iosif Bitiu)"

About 2nd mounted scouts platoon, does anyone know what kind of mounts were used ?
horses ? bicycles ? motos ? trucks ? mules ? nothing ?

The so-called mounted vanatori used horses for transportation. There is a photo on the site of the 2nd Mounted Vanatori Squadron.
