razu Posted 4 October , 2009 Author Share Posted 4 October , 2009 Thanks. You sure now your trade.However ,what puzzles me is that in this Central Military Museum of Bucharest I've never seen the Order of the Bath.And I'm sure that some of the Romanian generals have received it.As did General Aristide Razu.The aboves belong to King Ferdinand.
