INSIGNE MILITARE- MILITARY BADGES
Cuvânt înainte - Foreword
Insignele militare constituie fără îndoială, alături de ordine
şi medalii, o ramură importantă a faleristicii. În faleristica
românească, perioada domniei Regelui Carol al II-lea
(1930-1940) poate fi. considerată, datorită numărului mare
de ordine, medalii şi insigne instituite, cea mai prolifi.că
perioadă.
În ceea ce priveşte insignele militare, au fost instituite în­
tre anii1930-1940 peste90% din insignele cunoscute. Cele
mai apreciate şi totodată cele mai rare insigne sunt aşa nu­
mitele,,lnsigne de Regiment" sau ,,lnsigne de 7 Ani".
Insignele de Regiment nu constituie o noutate în do­
meniul militar; alte ţări, de exemplu Rusia, le introduseseră
înainte de anul191 7, însă spre deosebire de acestea, insig­
nele româneşti erau distribuite numai ofiţerilor activi care
au servit un timp de cel puţin şapte ani fără întrerupere în
acelaşi regiment sau corp de trupă. Aceste ,,lnsigne Onorifi­
ce pentru 7 Ani de Serviciu în Acelaşi Regiment" au fost
instituite prin Decretul Regal D.R. nr. 149/31 ianuarie
1933 , publicat în Monitorul Oficial nr. 3 5/11 februarie
1933. Modelul insignei era propus de către fiecare regiment
şi se aproba personal de către Rege.
Regele primea câte un exemplar al fiecărei insigne, un al
doilea exemplar fiind donat Muzeului Militar.
Conform decretului de instituire, insignele trebuiau să
aibă o formă ovală (50x40 mm, să fie confecţionate din ar­
gint masiv, smălţuit, având înscrise pe ele cifra VII" roman).
"
Dar de aceste specificări nu s-a ţinut întotdeauna cont. Ast­
fel, nu toate insignele sunt confecţionate din argint. Dacă la
prima decernare acestea erau confecţionate din argint, unele
regimente, cu ocazia decernărilor ulterioare, au înmânat
noilor serii de ofiţeri insigne din bronz argintar. Abateri de
la regulament mai există şi în ceea ce priveşte dimensiunea
insignelor sau a cifrei şapte roman (VII), cifră care la unele
regimente s-a transformat în cifra şapte arab (7) sau a fost
omisă complet.
,,Insignele de 7 Ani" se purtau pe partea stângă a pieptului
şi făceau parte integrantă din uniformă. Odată cu primirea
insignei, cel decorat primea şi un brevet semnat de către
comandantul regimentului. În jargonul cazon aceste insigne
erau denumite de către ofi.ţeri Răbdarea Măgarului". După
"
anul1940 (cu câteva excepţii cunoscute), insignele de 7 ani
nu au mai fost acordate.
De menţionat faptul că nu toate regimentele au avut insigne
de 7 ani.
În afară de aceste insigne de Regiment au mai fost insti­
tuite şi o serie de multe alte insigne militare, care, datorită
gradului de raritate, designului cât şi execuţiei artistice, con­
stituie bucuria şi satisfacţia fiecărui colecţionar.
În capitolele care urmează încercăm o prezentare pe te­
mariei şi perioade a tuturor insignelor militare cunoscute
până în prezent autorilor.

Milita1-y badges are, undoubtedly, an important subdivision of
phaleristics. In the Romanian phaleristics, the reign of King
Carol II (1930-1940) can be considered the most prolific period,
due to the great number of orders, medals and badges issued.
Over 90% of the known military badges were issued between
1930 and 1940. The best rated and, at the same time, the rarest
badges are the so-called "Regimental Badges" or "7-Year Badges':
Regimental badges do not constitute a novelty in the military
field; other countries, for instance Russia, had introduced them
before 1917. But, as opposed to them, the Romanian badges
were only distributed to active duty officers who had served for
at least 7 consecutive years in the same regiment or corps. These
"Honorary Badges for 7 Years of Service in the Same Regi­
ment" were instituted by Royal Decree no. 149/31" of]anuary
1933, published in the OfficialJournal no. 35/11'1' of February
1933. The model of the badge was proposed by each regiment
and was approved personally by the King.
The King received a specimen of each badge, and a second
specimen was donated to the Military Muswm.
According to the issuing decree, the badges were to have an
oval shape (50x40 mm, made of solid silver, enamelied, with
the Roman numeral "VII " on them). But these specifications
were not always observed. Thus, not ali badges were made of
silver. Ij, at thefirst presentation, the badges were made of silver,
at subsequent ceremonies, some regiments awarded to the new
officers silver-plated bronze badges. There are also deviations
from the norm regarding the size of the badges or of the Roman
numeral (VII ), which, for some regiments, was turned into an
arabic numeral (7) or was omitted.
The 7-Year badges were worn on the left side of the chest and
were an integral part of the uniform. When receiving the badge,
the recipient would also receive an awarding document signed
by the regiment's commander. In the military jargon, these
badges were ca/led by officers "Donkey's Patience': After 1940
(with a few known exceptions), the 7-Year badges were no Ionger
awarded.
We should mention the fact that not ali regiments had the
7-Year badges.
Aside Jrom these Regimental badges, many other military
badges were imted. Thanks to their rarity, design and artist1-y,
they bringjoy and satisfaction to any ca/lector.
In the following chapters, we wili attempt a presentation, by
themes and periods, of ali military badges known so far to the
authors.

2.1. INSIGNA„LICEULUI MILITAR NICOLAE FILIPESCU "

2.1. BADGE OF THE "NICOLAE FILIPESCU MILITARY HIGH SCHOOL"

Liceul Militar Nicolae Filipescu s-a înfiinpt în anul 1912 din inifiativa
ministrului de război de arunci Nicolae Filipescu la Mănăstirea Dealu
(lângă Târgovişte).
În anul 1932, cu prilejul împlinirii a 20 de ani de la înfiinprea şcolii,
Regele Carol al II-lea a decernat insigna„Şoimul'; Proprio Moru, tuturor
absolvenrilor acestui liceu.
Ulterior, insigna s-a acordat şi persoanelor civile care, prin donarii sau
diferite activităfi, au dus la propăşirea liceului. Astfel, exemplarele aurite
erau purtate de profesori sau persoanele civile, pe când cele argintate de
elevii absolvenri. Insigna se purta pe partea stângă a pieptului. La finuta
civilă se purta la rever ca miniatură. Înmânarea insignei era însoriră de un
brevet semnat de comandatul şcolii. Acordată între anii 1932-1940, in­
signa a suferit în această perioadă câteva modificări. Astfel, putem dis­
tinge două modele diferite după cum urmează:
The Military High School Nicolae Filipescu was founded in 1912, at the ini­
tiative of the minister of war Nicolae Filipescu, at the Dealu Mona stery (near
Targoviste).
In 1932, on the occasion of 20 years since the school's foundation, King
Carol II awarded the "Falcon" badge, Propria Motu, to all graduates of this
high school.
Subsequently, the badge was also awarded to civilians who, through dona­
tions or various activities, contributed to the high school's development. Thus,
the gilt badges were worn by teachers or civilia ns, and the silver-plated badges
were worn by graduates. The badge was worn on the left side of the chest. With
civilian attire, the miniature was worn at the /apel. The badge was accompanied
by an awarding document signed by the school's commander. Awarded between
1932 and1940, the badge went through severa/ alterations during this period.
Thus, we can distinguish two dijferent models, as jollows:

În timpul cutremurului din anul 1940 clădirile Liceului Militar Nicolae
Filipescu de la Mănăstirea Dealu au fosr complet distruse. Nu s-au sem­
nalat victime din cadrul elevilor, întrucât aceşria erau adwu\i pe plaroul

Târgovişre la Predeal, primind denumirea de "Colegiul Na\ional Milirar

Nicolae Filipescu" (cu vulmrul reprezentat cu o singură pereche de aripi).
During the earthquake of 1940, the buildings of the Nicolae Filipescu Mili­
tm-y High School at the Dealu Monastery were completely destroyed. Ihere
were no victims among the students, as they had gathered in the schoolyard
(the horses had sensed the earthqLtake in advance). Iherefore, the high school
moved from Targoviste to Predeal, and it received the name "Nicolae Filipescu

8. REGIMENTAL BADGES
8.1. INFANTERIA
8.1. INFANTRY
La baza infanteriei moderne a fost oastea permanentă, formată din regi­
mente de linie şi de vânători pedeştri, şi oastea nepermanentă, formată
din trupe teritoriale, înfiinţate în anul1830 în Muntenia şi Moldova.
Soldaţ.i în noile uniforme româneşti au apărut pentru prima oară pe
străzile Bucureştiului la 12 mai 1830, într-o atmosferă de mare entuziasm
popular.
Prima unitate de Infancerie Uşoară a fost creată în Moldova, în anul
1856, sub denumirea de"Regiment de Muscherart În 1860, după Unirea
Principatelor, primul corp aparte din această categorie a fost Batalionul
de Vânători (vezi capitolul 8.5.).
Primele regimente de grăniceri din Muntenia au fost înfiinţate în anul
1850, de către Domnitorul Barbu Ştirbei, iar cele din Moldova în anul
1864.
Prin legea din 27 martie1872, Corpul Grănicerilor este transformat
în 8 regimente de dorobanţi.
Din aceste 8 regimente de dorobanţi se crează, în anul1877, 16 regi­
mente care, în anul1880, devin 32. Acestea fuzionează în 1891 cu cele 8
regimente de linie şi cu cele 4 batalioane de vânători pedeştri existente.
Astfel, armata română cuprindea la 10 mai 1902, 8 batalioane de
vânători pedeştri şi 34 de regimente de infanterie. După Marele Război
de Reîntregire (1916-1919), Ardealul revine României.
O parte din personalul vechilor regimente este transferat în Ardeal,
punându-se astfel bazele unor noi regimente. Aceste noi regimente de
infanterie constituite, denumite şi dublete, sunt numerotate de la nr. 81 la 96.
8.1.1. Regimentul! Infanterie (Dorobanţi)- Dolj
8.1.1. ]51 Infantry Regiment
A fost înfiinţat în anul1872 din vechile batalioane teritoriale de grăniceri,
sub denumirea de Regimentul 1 Dorobanţi - Craiova, primind drapelul
la 14 octombrie 1874.
În anul 1877 din acest regiment s-au format alte două regimente şi
anume: Regimentul 1 Dorobanţi, Dolj şi Regimentul nr. 3 Dorobanţi,
Caracal.
În anul 1891, prin reorganizarea infanreriei, lua denumirea de
Regimentul Dolj nr. 1.
Patronul regimentului a fost Sfântul Ioan Botezătorul (7 ianuarie).
Sediul unităţii a fost la Craiova.
Drapelul regimenrului a fost decorat de către Regele Mihai I, prin
D.R. 3315/23 decembrie 1943, cu Ordinul..Mihai Viteazul': Clasa a III-a.
Notă:
Din informaţiile primire de la veterani, regimentul nu a avut insignă.
The base of modern infantry was the standing army, made of line regiments
and rifle or light infantry regiments, and the temporary army, made up of
territorial troops, assembled in 1830 in Walachia and Moldavia.
Soldiers in the new uniforms appeared for the first time on the streets of
Bucharest on the 12'1> of May 1830, in an atmosphere of great enthusiasm.
The first unit of Rifles, or Light Infantry, named "Musketeers Regiment';
was formed in Moldova in 1856. In 1860, after the Unification of the Roma­
nian Principalities, thefirst such unit was the Vanatari Battalion (see Chapter
8.5.).
The first border patra/ regiments in Walachia were created in 1850, by
ntler Barbu Stirbei, and, in Moldavia, in 1864.
By the law from 27'1> of March 1872, the Border Patrol Corps was trans­
formed into 8 infantry regiments.
From these 8 infantry regiments, 16 regiments were created in 1877,
which, in 1880, became 32. In 1891, they merged with the 8 line regiments
and with the 4 field battalions in existence.
Thus, on the 10'1' of May 1902, the Romanian army comprised 8 field
battalions and 34 infantry regiments. After the Creat War for National
Reunification (1916-1919), Romania recovered Transylvania.
Part of the staff of the old regiments was transferred to Transylvania, thus
aeating the core for new regiments. These new infa.ntry regiments, named
doublets, were numbered from 81 to 96.
(Dorobanti)- Doij
I11itially constituted i11 1872 fi"om the old territorial border pau·ol battalions,
under the name 1" Infantry Regiment - Craiova, it received its Jlag on the
14'1> ofOctober 1874.
In 1877, two other regime11ts were fonned fi-orn this one: the 1" Inja11try
Regiment, Doij and the 3"1 Infantry Regiment, Caracal.
In 1891, after the reorganization of the irifantry, it was redesignated as
the 1" Doij Regiment.
The regiment's Patron Saint was St.]ohn the Baptist (7'!. of]anuary).
The regiment's headquarters was in Craiova.
The regiment's Jlag was decorated by King Michael I, by Royal Decree
3315/23"1 ofDecember 1943, with the "Michael the Brave"Order, 3'd Class.
Note:
From the i1:formation received .fi"om veterans, the regiment did not have a
badge.

Artileria cu Schimbul, ca ~i Cavaleria (Calara~i) cu
Schimbul, erau trupe (soldari) care faceau armata cu
propriul lor cal. Denumirea ,,cu schimbul" proven ea din
fapml ca ei i~i executau serviciul militar in schimburi: o
sapcamana de serviciu ~i trei saptamani acasa. Acest sistem
de pregatire militara permitea finerea sub arme de efective,
avand cosmri foarte recluse. Stam! asigura acestor trupe
doar armamenml ~i muniria .
Part-time Horse Artillery, like Part-time Horse Cavalry,
were troops (soldiers) who served with their own horse.
The name came from the fact that they carried out thei1·
military service part-time: one week of service followed by
three weeks at home. This military training system allowed
keeping the staff under arms and with very low costs. The
state provided these troops only with weapons and munitions.

when the new cypher of King Michael I appea1·ed, had, at the centre, King
Michael I's cypher from the Regency period (1927-1930) . These badges are
rare, considering the very short period in which they were awarded.
We should mention that there are pieces where the King's cypher is enamelled
and_ others .where it is not enamelled. In 1940-1941, 269 military pilots

Germania, alarurandu-se Na1iunilor Unite. imrucat avia1ia romana avea
in dorare $i avioane de fabrica1ie germana, inmarricularile fiind foarte
asemanaroare (cifrul Regelui Mihai I fiind confundat de multe ori cu
crucea de pe avioanele germane, mai ales de catre obse rvato rii bateriilor
antiaeriane rusqri) s-a trecut, in baza Ordinului Secret 022 din 3 sep-
tembrie 1944 al Srarului Major al Armarei, la schimbarea semnelor
aparteneni:ei de star $i a culorii de recunoa$tere ( cifrul regal es re inlocuit
de trei cercuri concenrrice in culorile drapelului Romaniei). Asrfel, in-
cepand cu luna septembrie a anului 1944, s-a schimbar $i pasrila cu cifrul
Regelui de pe insigne, cifrul Regelui Mihai I aparand sub forma unui
singur ,,M" incoronat (ca in perioada de Regenia), torul pe fond albasrru.
Insignele s-au inmanat sub aceasra forma doar unei singure promo\ii,

On the 23rn ofAugust 1944, Romania exited its alliance with Germany, joining the
United Nations. As the Romanian aviation also had German-made air-
planes, with very similar markings (King Michael J's cypher was often mis-
taken for the cross on the German planes, especially by the observers of
Russian anti-aircraft artillery), it was decided, by the Armys High Com-
mand's Secret Order D22of3'd of September 1944, to change the state insignia
and the colours (the royal cypher was replaced by 3 concentric circles, with the
colours of Romania's flag). Thus, startingfrom September 1944, the chip with
the royal cypher also changed; King Michael IS cypher appeared as a single
crowned "M" (as in the Regency period), everything on a blue background.
The badges were awarded in this form only to the class of 1945, as pilot train-
ing schools were subsequently dissolved.

In 1916, the Flight School Manufacturing Plant in Cotroceni, constituted in 1912,

moved to Iasi, where it was renamed the "General Aeronautic Reserve Manufacturing
Plant''. After the war, on the l " ofJuly 1920, the plant was brought back to Bucharest -
Cotroceni, and it was renamed the Cotroceni Aeronautic Arsenal. It was used for repairing
airplanes, engines and utility vehicles belonging to the Romanian Aviation Corps. In
1938, all plants under the Ministry ofAir and Navy were reorganized and were named the
Association of Military Aeron@tics Establishments (ASAM); the one in Cotroceni was
named ASAM-Cotroceni. This organization lasted until 1949, when the plant became an
electric machine factory. From the beginning until the end, this plant, besides its repair
activities, also assembled imported airplanes; after 1922, it began to make planes and
gliders, ttnder license or after Romanian designs.
Officers with 7 years of uninterrupted service with the Aeronautic Arsenal were granted
the right to wear the 7-Year badge of the "Aeronau tic Arsenal".
On the 17r1' of June 1910, pilot Aurel Vlaiw flew over the Cotroceni Field in the
"Vlaicu l" airplane, designed and built by him, for a distance of 50 m, at a height of 4 m.
As the "Aeronautic Arsenal" was situated in the very place where Vlaicu had achieved that
historical flight, it was decided that the 7-Year badge would feature both the silhoi1ette of
the "Vlaicu l" airplane and the two hangars of the "Pilot Training School" of Cotroceni.
As a tribute to Aurel Vlaicu, aviation pioneer, starting from 1949, 17,,' ofJune was
declared "Romanian Aviation Day".
The badge was made of gilt and enamelled silver. The fastening system featured a
vertical pin.

Besides the repairs done for the planes, the ASAM
staff was also able to repair cars belonging to the units under
the Military Aeronautics. ASAM comprised the Cotroceni
Aeronautic Arsenal, the repair shops in Pipera, Medias
Galati, Tecuci and Iasi, and the Navy Arsenal in Gal at.'I.
In terms of proportion and importance in the industry of
Romanian aeronautics, ASAM was situated immediate/
after the JAR factory in Brasov, relieving the work load ef
the factory so it could produce more airplanes.
For the aviation officers in ASAM, a characteristic
badge was made, starting from 1939. Made of silver, it
had the eagle with a sword in its claws at the centre, similar
to that on the cap badge, but slightly stylised. At the top,
under the Royal Crown, there was a radial engine, the sign
of the technical staff in aeronautics. The badge was worn on
the left side of the chest and the fastening system featured a
vertical pin.

nice aerodynamic line, capable of reaching 510 k111/h. Featuring a IAR-1000
motor, it made the airplane factory of Brasov famous. The prototype of this
airplan e was unveiled to the public on the 20'1' of Ju ne 1939, Romanian
Aviation Day (St. Elijah's day - the Patron Saint of aviation), at the air show
organized on this occasion at the airport in Cotroceni.

8.4.3.5. BRELOCURI DE CAVALERIE
8.4.3.5. CAVALRY ]ETONS
Brelocurile de cavalerie au fost instituite 1n anul 1940.
Toate brelocurile aveau forma unui mic fanion cu varfurile 1ndreprate
in jos. Ele erau confeqionate din bronz aurit ;;i emailat. Prevazute cu un
[fofi§Ol', brelocurile Se purtau la uniforma, pe partea Stanga a pieptului,
prinse de nasmrele de la buzunar. Menrionam faptul ca fiecare regiment
de cavalerie avea culori specifice. Aceste culori erau reprezentate pe
peclirele §i epolerii ofirerilor sau pe brelocul regimemului respectiv.
Culorile regimenrelor de cavalerie erau:
Regimentul 1 Ro;;iori - galben
Regimentul 2 Ro;;iori - alb
Regimenrul 3 Ro§iori - verde
Regimentul 4 Ro§iori - albastru deschis (bleu)
Regimenrul 5 Ro§iori - verde deschis
Regimenrul 6 Ro~iori - albastru
Regimenrul 7 Ro~iori - ro§u deschis
Regimenrul 8 Ro§iori - mov (mauve)
Regimenrul 9 Ro§iori - roz
Regimentul 10 Ro§iori - gri
Regimenrul 11 Ro§iori - rD§U 1nchis
Regimenrul 12 Ro§iori - violet
Regimentele de Cilara~i aveau toate aceea§i culoare - ro;;u cu mar-
ginile negre
Regimenrul de Garda Cilare - negru
~colile §i centrele de instruqie - ciclamen
Incepand cu 1 iunie 1941 toate regimentele de cavalerie urmau a avea
culoarea ciclamen.
Prin ordinul nr. 150 din 22 februarie 1945 s-a dat unui numar de 3
regimeme dreptul sa revina la culorile tradirionale. Acestea erau:
Regimenrul 4 Ro§iori - albastru deschis (bleu)
Regimentul 9 Ro§iori - roz
Regimenrul de Garda Cilare - negru
Restul regimentelor de cavalerie au ramas la culoarea ciclamen.
In afara acestor brelocuri ale regimemelor au mai fost instiruite §i o
serie de brelocuri specifice, cum ar fi: ale Echipei Narionale de Cilarie, ale
participanrilor la diferite manevre, precum §i brelocuri ale diferitelor di-
vizii de cavalerie oferite ofirerilor participanri 1n,,Campania din Rasarit''.
Astfel, un ofirer putea purta doua sau mai multe brelocuri. In acest
caz, 1ntrucat nu toate puteau fi prinse simultan de nasrurele de la buzu-
nar, s-a renunpt la lanri§orul de prindere, trecandu-se la sistemul de
prindere cu ac orizomal. Brelocurile erau purtate numai de dtre ofireri.
Odata cu 1nmanarea brelocului se 1nmana ;;i un brevet semnat de dtre
comandam.
8. REGIMENTAL BADGES - CAVALRY
Cavalry jetons were instituted in 1940.
All jetons were in the shape of a small flag, with its tips pointing down-
wards. They were made of gilt bronze and were enamelled. They were
worn with the uniform, on the left side of the chest, attached to the pocket
button by a chain/et. Each cavalry regiment had specific colours. These colours
were featured on the fly front and epaulets of the officers or on the jeton of the
respective regiment.
The colours of the cavalry regiments were as follows:
l " Rosiori (Elite Cavalry) Regiment - yellow
2"d Rosiori (Elite Cavalry) Regiment - white
3rd Rosiori (Elite Cavalry) Regiment - green
4'1' Rosio1·i (Elite Cavalry) Regiment - light blue
5"' Rosiori (Elite Cavalry) Regiment - light green
6',, Rosiori (Elite Cavalry) Regiment - blue
7"' Rosiori (Elite Cavalry) Regiment - light red
8"' Rosiori (Elite Cavalry) Regiment - purple (mauve)
9'h Rosiori (Elite Cavalry) Regiment - pink
10',, Rosiori (Elite Cavalry) Regiment - grey
11',, Rosiori (Elite Cavalry) Regiment - dark red
12'1' Rosiori (Elite Cavalry) Regiment - violet
The Calarasi (Light Cavalry) Regiments all had the same colour - red
with black borders
The Mounted Guard Regiment - black
The schools and training centres - cyclamen
Startingfrom l " ofJun e 1941, all cavalry regiments were to use the colour
cyclamen.
By order no. 150 of22"d of February 1945, 3 regiments were allowed to
return to their traditional colours. These were:
4'1' Rosiori (Elite Cavalry) Regiment - light blue
9"' Rosiori (Elite Cavalry) Regiment - pink
Mounted Guard Regiment - black
The rest of the regiments remained with the colour cyclamen.
Besides these jetons, other specific jetons were instituted, such as: the National
Horse Riding Team jeton, jetons for participants to d!fferent manoeuvres, as
well as jetons for d!fferent cavalry divisions, offered to officers participating in
the "Eastern Campaign''.
Thus, an officer could wear two or more jetons. In this case, as they could not
be all attached to the same pocket button, the fastening cha inlet was eliminated
and was replaced with a horizontal pin. The jetons were only worn by officers.
Presented together with the jeton was an awarding document signed by the
commander.

In rimpul Primului Razboi Mondial, 1n cadrul operatiunilor desfa~ urare
• 11rnnri de drre infanrerie, s-a consrarar faprul ca, fara un anrrenament
111 ' fot111d that, withotit special training, the troops had a reduced valu e in combat.
i 0 insrruqie speciala, rrupele au o valoare combariva redusa.
~ Asrfel, la 3noiembrie1916,,.Marele Carrier General" al armarei romanc
a decis rransformarea,,.'.?colii Milirare de Schiori" 1nrr-o uni rare lupraroare,
denumira,.Corpul Vanarorilor de Munre''.
I 11 orclinul dar cu aceasra ocazie se preciza ,, ... ace~ri vanarori de munre
vor fi In special insrruiti penrru razboiul de munre, vor cunoa~re mersul cu
sch iu rile. · .".
Srudii penrru lnfiintarea de rrupe alpine romanqri s-au facur 1nca din
anul 1889, dnd 1nrr-un proiecr ele erau numire ,,Dorobanti de Munre';
acesrea avand scopul de a apara fronriera pe care Romania o avea pe cresrele
Carpatilor cu Imperiul Ausrro-Ungar.
In 1893 s-a reluar ideea organizarii rrupelor de munre, propunandu-se ca
baralioanele de vanarori (era vorba despre baralioanele corp aparre de vanarori
pede~rri, 0 ramura a infanreriei) sa se rransforme 1n baralioane de vanarori de
munre. A~adar, 1nfiinprea,.Corpului Vanarorilor de Munre" 1n anul 1916,
a fosr 0 1mplinire a ideilor dinainre ale cadrelor clin armara romana.
Vanarorii de munre s-au insrruir 1n conditii speciale 1n zona ora~ului
Targu-Neamt.
In roamna anului 1917 vanaro ri i de m unre au fos r reorganizati 1n
,.Baralioane de Vinarori de Munre" cu un efecriv de 4000 de milirari.
In anii 1920-1923 au luar fiinta noi unirati ~i mari uniriti alpine
grupare 1n ,.Corpul de Munre".
During the World War I operations of the infantry in the mountains, it was
Thtis, on the 3"1 of November 1916, the "Gene ral Headquarters" of the
Romanian ar111y decided to ttirn the "Military Skier School" into a fighting
unit, which it 11amed the "Mountain Riflemen Corps''.
In the order given on this occasion, it was stipulated that ' . .. these motin-
tain riflemen will be specially trained for war in the mountains, they will be
able to walk on skis .. .''.
Studies for creating Romanian alpine troops were carried out as early as
1889, when, in a project, they were called "Mountain Gendarmes"; their pur-
pose was to defend the border between Romania and the Austro-Hungarian
Empire on the Carpathian ridges.
In 1893, the idea of reorganising the motintain troops continued. It was
proposed that riflemen battalion (the separate unmounted riflemen corps, a
branch of the infantry) become mountain riflemen battalions. Thus, the crea-
tion of the "Mountain Riflem en Corps" in 1916 was a fulfilment of the previ-
ous ideas of members of the Romanian Army.
The mountain riflemen were trained in special conditions, in the area of
Targu-Neamt.
In the autumn of 1917, the mountain riflemen were redeployed into
"Motmtain Riflemen Battalions'; consisting of 4.000 soldiers.
In 1920-1923, new units appeared, as well as large alpine units, all grouped
together as the "Mountain Corps''.

8.9.7. INSIGNELE SERVICIULUI MARITIM ROMAN (S.M.R.)
8.9.7. BADGES OF THE ROMANIAN MARITIME SERVICE (S.M.R.)
Marina Comerciala Romana nus-a putut dezvolta decat dupa cucerirea
Independenrei Narionale (1878). Bazele au fost puse in anul 1883, cand
Camera Depucarilor a instiruit un proiect de lege pentru infiinprea,,Ser-
viciului de Navigarie pe Dunare ~i Mare". Acest proiect de lege a fost
concrerizar abia in anul 1895, cand a luat fiinra ,,Serviciul Maritim Ro-
man" ~i, prin inrermediul acesrei insrirurii de stat, Aora maririma comer-
cialii.
La 30 ocrombrie 1895 S.M.R. a fost trecur in subordinea Direqiei
Generale a C.ER.
Masura a fosr considerara fireasd., inrrucat d.ile ferare urmau sa fie
legate de principalele porturi.
Dad, la infiinpre S .M.R.-ul avea in dorare doar doua nave, noua
conducere s-a preocupat atit de rnarirea parcului de nave de pasageri cat ~i
de infunrarea unei Aote de cargouri. Astfel, in scurt ti mp, prin achizirionarea
de nave a luar fiinra a~a-numira Aora de ,,Lebede albe ale Marii Negre';
care, in scurr rimp, a acaparat rraficul de pasageri din Levant. Prin Legea
din 12 ianuarie 1906 Direqia S.M.R. a fost scoasa de sub Adminisrraria
Ciiilor Ferare, fiind pusa sub auroritarea direcra a Minisrerului Lucrarilor
Publice. Dad la inceput personalul de pe acesre nave era format din echipaje
srriiine, inchiriate de sratul roman, rreprar, acesrea au fosr inlocuite cu
echipaje romane~ti.
Jnrrud.r singurele ~coli penrru formarea personalului naviganr
superior au fost cele rnilitare, Marina Civila a fost forrnara din personalul
pregarir de drre Marina Milirarii. In ajunul imrarii Rornaniei in rizboi
(1941), S.M.R. mai avea in parcul sau 16 unirari navale. Insuficienp mij-
loacelor navale de care dispunea Marina Milirarii a impus rechiziriona-
rea, rransformarea ~i anrrenarea unor nave ale S.M.R. la indepli nirea de
misiuni de dtre Divizia de Mare.
La finele anului 1946, navele ramase au fost rechizirionare de d.tre
ocupanrii sovietici, Romania fiind asrfel lipsira de Hora maririrna. Dupa
1945, la 12 ocrombrie, a fosc rerrocedara, la Galari, de carre sovietici, o
singura nava din rotalul de 16 rechizirionate.

8. REGIMENTAL BADGES - NAVY
The Romanian Merchant Navy coiild not develop until Romania gained its
National Independence (1878). Its foundations were laid in 1883, when the
Chamber of Deputies instituted a bill for the creation of the "Danube and Sea
Navigation Service''. This bill came into effect in 1895, when the "Romanian
Maritime Service" was created and, through this institution, the merchant navy
fleet.
On the 30'1' of October 1895, S.M.R. was put under the General Directorate
of the C.FR.
This measure was considered normal, because the railways were meant to
be linked to the main ports.
If, at its creation, the S.M.R. only owned two ships, the new management
took it iipon itself to enlarge the fleet of passenger ships and to create a cargo
ship fleet. Thus, in a short time, by acquiring ships, the so-called "Black Sea
White Swans" fleet was created, which would shortly take over the passenger
traffic in the Levant. By the law of 12"' of]anuary 1906, the S.M.R. Directorate
was removed from the Railway Administration, it was placed under the direct
authority of the Ministry of Public Works. If at first the staff on these ships
consisted offoreign crews, hired by the Romanian state, but they were gradually
replaced by Romanian crews.
As the only schools for training the superior navigation staff were the
military ones, the Merchant Navy was formed from the staff trained by
the Military Navy. Before Romania entered the war (1941), S.M.R. only
had 16 naval units. The insieficient naval means of the Navy imposed the
commandeering, transformation and training of S.M.R. vessels in order for
the Naval Division to carry out missions.
At the end of 1946, the remaining ships were commandeered by the Soviet
occupants, thits Romania remaining without a maritime fleet. After 1945, on
the 12'1' of October, a single ship was retroceded by the Soviets, in Galati, of
the 16 commandeered.

As a result of the Geneva Conference of October 1863, where thefiou d .
r. . . . . " hI n at1ons
were laid Jor creatingmst1tut1ons meant to e p wounded military staJf: the
International Committee of the Red Cross was established.
By the Convention of 22"d of August 1864, signed by 54 stat .
. ,, . es, 1t was
recognised that the wounded and the sick are no longer belligerent and h
medical staff is neutral''. Romania adhered to the convention on the 30" 0 rN bt e
1 ovem er
1874. Thus, as a result of the letter of ll'h ofJune 1876 addressed t p .
. . • o nnce
Dimitrie Gr. Ghika by the Ministry of War, by the signed statement of 4,, of
July 1876, an institution for "helping the military staff wounded at war" was
created, under the name "Romanian Red Cross Society".
The Society's bylaws were promulgated by High Decree no.1744of8'' of
September 1876.
Immediately after the creation of the Romanian Red Cross, two ambulances
were sent, in the same year, to the Serbo-Turkish War. Later. during the War
of Independence of 1877-1878 and the Serbo-Bulgarian War of 1885-1886,
the Red Cross made substantial contributions, by organizing hospitals and carin
for a large number of wounded soldiers. In 1906, the "Romanian Ladies' Re~
Cross" was created. The purpose of this new institution was to train specialry
staff and to acquire the necessary materials to "cope with any situation''. Thus,
during the 1913 campaign, the two Red Cross Societies formed a common
committee for the entire duration of the conflict. At the beginning of 1914, the
two societies were united, under the name "National Society of the Romanian
Red Cross''.

Folosirea carelor de asalt de ditre armata anglo-franceza in rimpul Primu-

urmare a demersurilor milirari lor romani facute carre Ministerul de
Razboi, a luat fiin\a, in luna aprilie a anului 1919, o ~coala de care de asalt.
La inceput, pina la achizi1io narea primelor rancuri, elevii ~colii s-au
pregatit in conducerea ma~.inilor de !up.tape tancuri Renault FT-17, im-
rumutate de la o compame a,,Armare1 Franceze de Dunare".
p Lal august 1919 structura ~colii s-a modificat, fiind transformata in
unitate operativa sub numele de .. Batalionul de Care de Asalr".
Din decembrie 1920, in componenFt baralionului a mai fost inclus
,,Grupul de Motomitraliere': iar din ianuarie 1921..Trenurile Blindare" ~ i
,,Compania de Automob ile Blindare".
Sporirea efecti velo r a condus ~ i la schimbarea strucrurii ~ i den umirii

D~tarea aces mia a ramas neschimbara pana in anul 1936 cind au fost
achizi\ionate tancuri moderne, de produqie cehoslovadi (S koda R-1) ~ i
franceza (Renault R-35).
in anul 1938, Ministerul de Razboi a conrractat in Fran~a 300 de
tancuri, din care au fost livrate doar 75 de buca~i. Ele au fost reparrizare
,,Regimenrului 2 Care de Lupta" infiinpt la 1noiembrie1939.
Echipajul primelor tancuri ( Renault FT-17) era form at din 2 oameni,
urmind ca la rancurile de tip (Skoda R-1 ) acesta sa fie format din 4 oameni.
TIJe use of assault velncles by the English and French armies dLll'ing World

of Ro1na11ir111 111ilitary staff to the Mi111stry of War, a11 assault vehicle school
wasfot111ded i11April1919.
At fint, Ltntil the acquisitio11 of the first tanks, the school's students trained
011 Renault FT-17 ta11ks, borrowed from a company of the "Danube French
Anny".
On the 1" of AL1gust 1919, the school's structure ivas modified and it was
turned into 1111 operative unit, under the name 'Assault Vehicle Battalion''.
From December 1920, the battalion also included the "Motorcycle
Mounted Machine Gun Motorcycle Group" and, from Jamiary 1921, the
'An 11oured Trai11s" and the 'Armoured Car Company''.
The i11crease i11 manpower also led to a change in the structLire of the unit
which was renamed the "War Vehicle Regiment".
The endowment of the regiment remained unchanged until 1936 when
modern tanks were acquired; these were made in Czechoslovakia (Skoda R-1)
and France (Rena Lilt R-35).
In 1938, the Ministry of War ordered 300 tanks from France, out of
which only 75 were delivered. They were assigned to the "2nd Combat Vehicle
Regiment'; created on the 1" of November 1939.
The crew of the first tanks (Renault FT-17) consisted of 2 people, while
the Skoda R-1 tanks were manned by 4 people.

care inrra 1n vigoare 1n Moldova, sub Grigore Alexandru G hica, ,,Refor-

Acesr,,Corp de Jandarmi" avea arri burii de polirie generala, fiind orga-
nizat 1n jandarmi pedqrri ~i jandarmi calare.
In anul 1893 apare ,,Legea Jandarmeriei Rurale" prin care se fixeaza
principiile de organizare ale jandarmeriei, acordandu-i-se arriburii de po-
lirie generala de srar, polirie adminisrrariva ~i polirie judiciarii.
In urma Rascoalei clin 1907 se da,,Corpului deJandarmi''. prin mo-
clificarea Legii clin 1893 un caracrer pur milirar, 1nfiinrandu-se 1n fiecare
comuna care un posr de jandarmi.
Prin Legea din 1929 Jandarmeria devine un corp de polirie organizat

In 1840, the "Gendarmes" are mentioned for the first time. It · th
. . . is e year
when, 1n Moldavia, under Gngore Alexandru Chica ' the "Re•r. if h

darmerie Corps''. en-
The attributions of this "Gendarmerie Corps" were those oif a p01ICC . fiOrce
The corps was divided into mounted and unmounted gendarmes. ·
In 1893, the "Rural Gendarmerie Law" appeared, which established the
organisational principles of the gendarmerie, granting it attributions of stat
police, administrative police and judicial police. e
After t?,e 1907 Peasants' R:,volt, .through the modification of the Law of
1893, the Gendarmene Corps received a purely military character and, in
each village, a gendarmerie post was created.
By the Law~[ 1929, the Gendarmerie became a police corps organized in
a military way, trained to permanently keep the peace in villages and , occa-
sionally, .towns, factories etc." Although the Gendarmerie was in the service of
the Ministry of Internal Affairs, 1t constituted a specialty of the general army
and as such was also used zn war as a combat unit.

The "Legion of the Archangel Michael''. also called the "Iron Guard''. was
created on the 24"' ofJune 1927, by Corneliu Zelea Codreanu. The name
"Iron Guard" came from the fact that, at first, the movement's purpose was to
fight against communism, claiming to be a 'fence against the expansion of
communism''.
Soon, it became a fascist-nationalist paramilitary organization, after the
model of the NSDAP organisation from Nazi Germany. On the background
of a mystical-religious orientation, the "Legionary Movement" acquired not
only an anti-communist character, but also an anti-Semitic and anti-Masonic
one.
On the 4'" of September 1940, the Legion allied with General Ion Antonescu,
forming the "National Legionary State''. In January 1941, after the "Legionary
Rebellion''. which culminated in afailed attempt at a coup against Ion Antonescu,
head of the state, the "Iron Guard" was removed from powei· with the help of
the army; the legion was disbanded. Part of the members of the "Legionary
Movement" were arrested, but a large part of them managed to find refuge
outside the country, mainly in Germany.

11. ASOCIATIA CERCETA~ILOR ROMANI
11. ASSOCIATION OF ROMANIAN SCOUTS
Primele,,Cete de Cerceta~i" in Romania au aparut la mijlocul anului 1913.
Constituite pe baza modelului englezesc, ele au funqionat la inceput in
Bucurqti, Sinaia, Bra~ov ~i Blaj. Cu sprijinul activ al Regelui Carol I,
Camera Deputai:ilor aproba prin Decrerul Regal D.R. nr. 971/6 iunie 1915
inliinprea ,,Asociai:iei Cerceta~ilor Romani". Ea avea drept scop ,, ... dez-
voltarea in tinerii de orice clasa sociala de insu~iri individuale ca: vigoare,
indemanare fizid., inii:iativa, curaj, demnitate, onoare ~i patriotism .. .''.
Tinerii puteau sa fie membri ai acestei asocia)ii incepand cu varsta de 11
ani, pana la data incorporarii lor in serviciul militar. Comandamul cerceta~ilor
a fost, ind de la tnfunprea asociapei, Principele Mo~tenitor Carol.
Dupa Primul Razboi Mondial, incepand cu anul 1919, ,,Asociai:ia
Cerceta~ilor Romani'; drept recuno~tini:a pentru serviciile aduse in timpul
razboiului, a fost pusa sub directa proteqie a Regelui Ferdinand I. In perioa-
da anilor 1924-1928 cerceta~ii au funqionat ca o Direqie Autonoma in
cadrul,,Fundai:iei Culturale - Principele Carol I". Prin Decretul Regal D.R.
nr. 2127 /13 august 1928, publicat in Monitorul Olicial M.0. nr.189/26
august 1928, Direqia Cerced~iei a fosc trecud la ,,Oficiul Nai:ional
de Educai:ie Fizica" (0.N.E.F.), ca apoi, incepand cu anul 1934, activitatea
cerced~easd. sa fie trecuta sub coordonarea,,Oliciului de Educai:ie a Tine-

publicat in Monitorul Olicial M.0.157 /12iulie1937, s-a decis ca,,Asociafia

11. THE ASSOCIATION OF ROMANIAN scours
The first "Scouts Troops" appeared in Romania in 1913. Based on the English
model, th ey operated in Bucharest, S111a1a, Brasov and Blaj. With the active
support of King Carol I, the Chamber of Deputies approved, by Royal Decree
no. 971/611> ofJune 1915, the creation of the ''Association of Romanian Scouts''.
Its purpose was "developing in young people of any social class individual
skills, such as: vigour, physical prowess, initiative, courage, dignity, honor and
patriotism ... "
Young people could be members of this association starting at 11 years old,
until conscription. The commander of the scouts, since the beginning of the
association, was Crown Prince Carol.
After World War I, starting in 1919, the ''Association of Romanian
Scouts" was put under King Ferdinand I's direct protection, as a sign of grati-
tude for the services rendered during the war. Between 1924 and 1928, the
scouts operated as an Autonomous Directorate, as part of the "Prince Carol I
Cultural Foundation''. By Royal Decree no. 2127I13rJ' ofAugust 1928, published
in the Official Journal no. 189/26'1' of August 1928, the Scouts Directorate
was assigned to the "National Office of Physical Education" (O.N.E.F), and
then, from 1934, the scouts activities were to be coordinated by the "Office for
the Education of the Romanian Youth" (O.E.TR.). By Royal Decree no.
270415"' of]uly 1937, published in the Official]ournal no. 157/ 12rh of]uly 1937, ir
was decided that the ''Association of Romanian Scouts" would be integrated imo
the "Country's Guard" organization. We should mention that the scour badge;
continued to be worn after the integration of the scouts into the "Country's
Guard" organization, but with the guardians' uniform.
The Patron Saints of the ''Association of Romanian Scouts" were Scs.
Contantine and Helena (21 " of May).
On the 2"dofJuly 1915, the scout rules suffered new altemtions and additions, on
which occasion both the shape and the size of the scout badge were established.
30 mm in diameter, the badge was made of enamelled bronze. It was
worn on the left side of the chest, and the fastening system featured a horizontal
pin.
Besides this enamelled badge, there was also a simple badge, 11011-enamelled,
made offretted, gilt, silver-plated rnetal or bronze, which was worn at tlie tie
or hat.

The Romania's Scouts were active during World War I, in military
and medical units.
After the war, around 1920, they were awarded a badge, as a sign
of gratitude. It was made of silver-plated bronze, and the fastening
system featured a vertical pin.
We should mention the fact that, in 1935, the "War Badge of the
Scouts" was isrned by decree. (see 11.3.).

12. THE "COUNTRY'S GUARD" ORGANIZATION
The "Country's Guard" organization was instituted by Royal D ecree no. 3069I1 4",
of November 1934. The initiator of this organization was King Carol II. It
was part of the "Office for the Education of Romanian Youth" (0.E.TR.),
and it operated at the same time as the "Sco uts' Association''. With the dis-
bandment of OE.TR. in 1937, the "Country's Guard" institution was estab-
lished, by Royal Decree no. 3424/7'h of October 1937, published in the
Official journal no. 233/8,,' of October 1937.
The purpose of this institution was the "moral, national and physical edu-
cation ofyoung people between 7 and 21 ' . Thus, all associations and organiza-
tions, governmental and private (cultural), professional and sports-related,
including the "Scouts' Association''. went under the management of the
"Country's Guard" organization.
All the members of this organization, according to Royal Decree no. 2334/3'd
ofJune 1938, complemented by Royal Decree no. 4078/3'd of December 1938,
would wear a special uniform, as well as a series of specific insignia.
The guardian badges were made of enamelled bronze.
The badges' size was 30x30 mm and the fastening system featured a verti-
cal pin. They were worn with the uniform, on the left side of the chest.
The miniatures, 15xl5 mm, were worn on the uniform's lapels by all
members of the organization. Startingfrom 1939, they were worn only by the
commanders.
With the civilian attire, the miniature was worn on the left lapel of the
coat.

In every society, there are certain groups of individuals who need protection by the
authorities in charge. The oldest organizations established under the aegis ofthe state
in order to equitably distribute to the poor funds from public charity were "Caliciile''.
In Moldavia and the Romanian Country these date back to the mid fifteenth centu .
Around 1780, in Moldavia, was founded the "House of Mercy" and in Ze
Romanian Country the "Box ofMercy". The Organic Regulation of 1831 established
a new order ofwelfare institutions and in 1863, the law of reorganization ofcommunes,
defined the characteristics of communes and counties in terms of social assistance.
1920 saw the establishment of the Ministry of Labour, Health and Social Welfare.
This, through its special organ the "Department of Assistance''. 01 ganized,
controlled and lead social assistance activities related to poor or orphan children,
infirm persons, invalids, widows, elderly persons, blind people, alcoholics etc. Also,
the Ministry took over the assistance of all the victims of war (invalids, orphans and
widows) entrusting it to a separate office called the "National Office - I.O.V:
After the First World War, the number of charity companies and organizations
from private initiatives grew considerably, so that by the 1936 census their number
had risen to over 1100.
The funds of these companies consisted of grants, subscriptions, contributions
and donations. In the following section we list afew of the companies, organizations
and institutions oj"Health" and "Help and Charity".
In 1920, together with the establishment of the Ministry of Labour, Health
and Social Welfare, the foundations for the assitance of war victims (invalids,
orphans and widows) were laid out.
This lead to the founding, under the Ministry, of the "National Office - I.O.V:
After 1941, the "National Office - I.O.V' is taken over by the Ministry
of National Defence (M.N.D.), and renamed "House of Invalids, Orphans
and War Widows''.

In anul 1856 Tracacul de la Paris prevedea in arcicolul 24 convocarca
in Mumenia ~i in Moldova a dee unui .. Divan ad-hoc'; compus din acei
reprezemanti care aveau sa exprime dorintele poporului privind,,a~ezarea
de stat a Principatelor". Dupa Unirea Principatelor s-a elaborat un
proiect de constimtie, care a imrodus sistemul de reprezemare bicamerala
(Adunare ~i Senat), adopta[ prin plebisci[ in anul 1864. Prin Consrimtia
din 1866, promulgara de Carol I, s-au pus bazele moderne ale forului
legislariv ca Reprezemanta Nationala, care a functionar, in concordanta
cu uzantele parlamemare ale Europei Occidemale, cu mici mod.indri,
pina la instaurarea regimului de aucoritate monarhid al lui Carol II.
Prin Consrirutia din 27 februarie 1938 purerea legislariva urma sa fie
exercirara de drre Rege prin reprezenranta nationala, care se impartea in
doua adunari: ,,Senarul" ~i ,,Adunarea Deputatilor". In toamna anului

According to the provisions of the Treaty of Adrianopole of 1829, each of the
Romanian Principalities was to adopt 11 fundamental law, the "Organic Statute''.
Voted in 1831, the Organic Stattlte separated, for the first time in the Romanian
Principalities, the legislative power from the executive and the judicial ones.
In 1856, the Treaty of Paris stipulated, in article 24, the creation of"Ad Hoc
Divans" in Walachia and Moldova, composed of those representatives who were
to express the wishes of the people regarding the 'governing of the Principalities''.
After the Union of the Principalities, a Constitution project was elaborated,
which introduced a bicameral legislature (Assembly and Senate), adopted by
plebiscite in 1864. The Constitution of 1866, promulgated by King Carol I, laid
the fo~tndations for the modern judicial forum with the National Representation,
which functioned, observing the parliamentary customs of Western Europe,
with small changes, until the installation of Carol !I's monarchic authority
regime.
According to the Constitution of 27'h of February 1938, the legislative power
was to be exercised by the King through national representation which was
divided into two distinct entities: the "Senate" and the "Assembly of Deputies''.
In the autumn of 1940, with the installation of the military dictatorship regime,
the Parliament's activity was suspended.
