Tehnici de asediere a cetății Plevna descrise de locotenentul Grigore Crăiniceanu
Siege Techniques of the Pleven Fortress as Described by Lieutenant Grigore Crăiniceanu

Summary/Abstract: The works carried out by the 4th Engineering Company during the siege of the Pleven fortress were described by Lieutenant Grigore Crăiniceanu in a letter addressed to his professor, Henri-Alexis Brialmont, with the aim of informing him about the contribution of the Romanian military engineers to the blockade of Pleven in early September 1877. Brialmont was preparing the work “La fortification du champ de bataille”, which was found to be based only on Russian sources, which omitted the quantity and quality of these works on Grivitsa 1 and 2 redoubts, although even Grand Duke Nicholas himself had praised them. The translation of the letter into Romanian was published in the “România liberă” newspaper.
