Summary/Abstract: During the First World War, heavy fighting took place on the territory of the Cosmeşti village to stop the advance of the German Army. In order to facilitate the crossing of the Romanian troops over the Sereth river, four wooden bridges were built. Also, for the protection of the Romanian troops defense works were carried out, consisting of trenches, barbed wire nets and underground shelters. All this contributed to the protection of the Romanian troops and together they formed an important center of resistance which led to the defeat of the German 9th Army.
