Gents,

As promised, the better scans. First, the portrait itself.

And a better scan of the chest. I reckon I see the Turtucaia bar... perhaps someone with eagle eyes may elaborate more.

Cheers,

So  Alexandru Georgescu received his medals as an Infantry, Cavalry, or Artillery officer?

Plutonier major Alexandru Georgescu, born in 1889, joined the military piloting school in 1919 (he received the pilot's certificate no. 194 on 21 Dec. 1919).

Hallo Denes biggrin.gif

From which area of the Romanian Military Service did he join the military piloting school in 1919?

Is it recorded?

And does anybody know where in Romania he was born, lived, and is buried??

Interesting to see he wears an Imperial Russian award (St.Stanislaus)

beneath a Nazi German award:

Ehrenzeichen für Deutsche Volkspflege am Band blink.gif

Does anybody know if he had a medical occupation in his military career?

Nice Eye Candy,

Romanian Military Virtue Cross, I Class

Romanian Manhood & Loyalty Medal,

Romanian Military Virtue Cross II Class,

French Medal Militare.

And possibly two Imperial Russian St. George Crosses

however I might be wrong on that as the ribbon colour show no stripe.
