I cannot put a precise date as to when this picture was taken, but it is my educated guess that it was shot in the mid 1930's. The location is the garrison town of Braila.
The picture depicts the Flag Guard of the Divizion 4 Artilerie Călăreată (4th Horse Artillery Battalion) that was later transformed on 4/9/1939 to Regimentul 4 Artilerie Călăreată (4th Horse Artillery Regiment). The military that holds the flag is my grandfather, Plutonier Dumitru Oprea (1904 – 1997). Note that I prefer to translate “Division de Artilerie Călăreată” as “Horse Artillery Battalion” rather than “Horse Artillery Division”. The latter is used often, but I consider it misleading with respect to the size of the unit, particularly for a reader that is not up-to-speed with the Pre-WWII Romanian Army nomenclature.

The articles on our website use "battalion", which is the correct translation. |

He is a Roshiori (line cavalry) officer of about 1912-1913, probably during the Balkan War, as he still wears the coloured M.1895 uniform but has the new M.1912 grey-green kepi.
