General G. A. Dabija – a landmark personality of his generation

Summary/Abstract: G. A. Dabija was born in Iaşi, on September 20th 1872 and passed away in Bucharest in 1957. He was a military attaché to Bulgaria and Serbia (1910-1913). He fought for his country in the battle of Mărăşti (1917) and on the Tisa front (1919) and, as recognition of his contribution in the battle of Mărăşti, he was awarded the rank of General in 1917. He resigned from the Army in defense of his dignity in 1920, but he continued to dedicate his existence to the interests of his nation. G.A. Dabija became known as a military writer, which later led to his detention in the communist prisons at Jilava and Văcăreşti (1952-1955). His monumental work in 4 volumes entitled ”The Romanian Army in The First World War (1916-1918)” was published between 1928 and 1937. It relied heavily on research carried out in national and international archives and it is dedicated to the heroes who sacrificed their lives to the accomplishment of the national unity ideal. The archive documents, the memoirs in manuscript in custody at the Romanian Academy Library, the published books and articles stand as testimony that General G. A. Dabija is a prominent representative of his generation.
