Act of Remembrance

A large number of cemeteries which commemorate the service and sacrifice of those who served in World War I and World War II sprang up throughout today`s Slovakia.

On 9 July 2020, on the occasion of comming end of tour of LTC Constantin EFRIM, (ROU-A), EOD COE Transformation Support Department Head, he together with the members of his team paid tribute to the 122 fallen Romanian soldiers in WWI buried at the Military Cementery in Trenčín-Kubrá. This National Heritage Site cemetery, located in the area of the military ammunition depot, was reopened a year ago on the occasion of 100th anniversary of the WWI Armistice.

The group also visited the small monument of 32 Romanian soldiers fallen in  WW II battles during the liberation of the Trenčín district. The monument is located close to the Slovak and Czech border in a forest between Kykula and Machnáč hills.
