Photos Mountain Troops

[Fish&Chips]

Let's continue with Romania and take a look back into the past. From @Connaught Ranger's Romanian photo collection thread:

RSR era "Mountain Hunters" pictures

1 horse power mobile Radio Communications vehicle

Inspection of Mountain Hunter Artillery Unit.

Mountain Hunter section on Military Exercise.

Military Skiing competition more than likely in the Predeal-Brasov era,
I believe the man in the flat cap to be the first communist leader of Romania from 1947 to 1965, Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej.
There is also a tradition of children connected to the Romanian Military when from the war of 1877 Independence era, when military units often adopted the sons of fallen comrades or orphans they found on the field of battle, its possible this young skier is a child of a soldier in a military unit or the unit mascot.
