Summary/Abstract: The history of Romanian medicine is lacking in sources so it will be very difficult to present different careers. This is the case of civillian doctors and also military ones, that were involved in the many conflicts of the XXth century. In this regard, their personal journals, that depict their brave actions in saving the lifes of enlisted men, are invaluable. This is the story of doctor Toma Moraru, a participant in the Eastern and Western campaings of the Romanian Army, during World War II.
