Summary/Abstract: Over the last decades, the scientific interest regarding the research themes dedicated to First World War remained relatively constant, even though Western research centers have been tackling areas of research and scientific themes by following rather a multidisciplinary approach regarding First World War. When it comes to Romanian historiography, it should be stressed that it remained dominated, for a long period, by research themes and topics rather related to the political dispute surrounding Romania’s participation into the War, or more or less focused on the military confrontations and the War evolution and confrontations per se. The present paper examines a rather neglected or less considered area of research regarding First World War, namely the War relief actions initiated and conducted during Romania’s involvement into the conflict, beginning with fund raising campaigns dedicated to wounded soldiers and refugees and continuing with the activity of various hospitals, orphanages and asylums, across the occupied territory and within the Romanian controlled territory (Moldova) as well.
