"As soon as the King had permitted officers to resign before reaching the age limit many of them resigned their commissions and preferred to risk the adventurous journey through Russia to Murman[sk], in order to take passage to France, and to fight there for the Allied cause." Could you please give more details about this episode? Did it really take place? Was it then allowed for Romanian citizens to enrol into foreign armies? How many Romanian officers went to France in the second half of 1918?
