Summary

Description

Big Roumania - A surprise for the enemy - Guns on the move behind artificial cover
Roumanian Preparations: on a frontier "Sunken Road", Constructed that troops may not be seen across the Danube - an artillery battery passing

"If military skill in preparation and careful organisation count as steps towards victory," writes our artist in forwarding the above sketch, made on the spot, "we have on our side in the field a Big Roumania." I was privileged some short time ago to make an extended tour through the most interesting parts of the country, and can safely and confidently say, in direct opposition to opinions which have been expressed in certain German high quarters to the effect that 'a small Balkan State can never become a decisive factor in the settlement of Armageddon,' that those who uttered the dictum will find themselves woefully mistaken. Roumania's Army is ready, and everywhere throughout the country arrangements have been made for its employment at any required point. Transport difficulties have been overcome and all measures taken to ensure success." As the drawing shows, " special sunken roads have been constructed at many places to afford shelter and security to marching troops." In the illustration a battery of Roumanian artillery is seen making its way, well screened front observation, in the neighbourhood of the Danube, seen towards the background, flowing on this side of the mountains.
