The Unknown Soldier Of World War I * Rumania |
 |
Parcul Carol (Carol I Park) is one of many beautiful parks that adorn Bucharest. Laid out only a decade before World War I according to the plans of French architect E. Redont, it commemorates the 40 years reign of King Carol I.
In 1963 a massive mausoleum was built on the site to the memory of "The heroes of the battle for freedom of the country." Forty years earlier, it became the site of the memorial to the Unknown Rumanian (also spelled Romanian) Soldier.
The memorial, like that in France and Italy, is highlighted by an eternal flame. An honor guard stands watch over the site. The Medal of Honor bestowed on the Unknown Rumanian Soldier in 1923 is displayed at the National Military Museum in Bucharest.
