Summary/Abstract: This article does not want a reconstruction of the biography of Captain Commander Marius Verbiceanu. For such an initiative documentary and editorial engagement would have been much broader.This article started from the striking antithesis of documents, where we find abundant recordings in the "punishment sheet" of a character who during the war had moral strength and body strength to face a much stronger enemy.Either investigating this strange circumstance allowed us to discover a bold figure, for which the odyssey on the front of the National Entente was the initial act of becoming an officer, proving the measure of human and professional qualities.Here's how, for Marius Verbiceanu, the attempts of the war have caused spiritual and corporeal transformation as a means of resisting daily suffering. Once the danger has passed, Marius Verbiceanu has reverted to that despicable officer, returning to the oldest mist, a behaviour in which he could have a lot of naivety ... Without which, perhaps, he would not have had these artists.
