  • El Monument als Herois de la Branca d'Enginyeria (en romanès: Monumentul Eroilor din Arma Geniului; sovint anomenat Leul - "el lleó") a Bucarest, Romania es dedica a l'heroisme i el sacrifici dels enginyers militars que van lluitar a l' durant la Primera Guerra Mundial, dels quals prop d'un miler van morir en combat i molts més foren ferits. Inaugurat el juny de 1929, es troba a la intersecció de Bulevardul Geniului i Bulevardul Iuliu Maniu, a l'altra banda del carrer del Palau Cotroceni. Un dels monuments més reconeguts de Bucarest, va ser finançat íntegrament a través de donacions d'oficials veterans del Braç d'Enginyers i executat per Spiridon Georgescu. A la base piramidal hi ha relleus de bronze que representen els enginyers en acció. Quatre estàtues de bronze de mida real representen les tropes del braç de l'enginyer — un sapador, un constructor de ponts de pontons, un enginyer del i un soldat de Căile Ferate Române. Però el component principal del monument és una estàtua d'un lleó, que s’alça damunt del pedestal. Amb les seves potes davanteres, trepitja el canó d'un canó (sobre el qual hi ha un Pickelhaube); una bandera flueix cap avall. El lleó simbolitza la resistència, la gosadia i la valentia demostrada per les tropes romaneses entre el 1916 i el 1918, especialment en les dramàtiques batalles durant l'estiu de 1917 — , i . La inscripció està gravada al relleu del pedestal: "Spuneți generacions viitoare că noi am done suprema jertfă pe câmpurile de bătaie per întregirea neamului" - "Digues a les generacions següents que vam fer el sacrifici suprem als camps de batalla per la unió del poble". Un medalló a les escales de la part inferior diu: "EROILOR DIN ARMA GENIULUI 1916-1919" - "Als herois del braç d'enginyer 1916-1919". (ca)
  • The Monument to the Heroes of the Engineer Arm (Romanian: Monumentul Eroilor din Arma Geniului; often called Leul - "the Lion") in Bucharest, Romania is dedicated to the heroism and sacrifice of the military engineers who fought in the Romanian Army during World War I, of whom nearly a thousand were killed in action and many more wounded. Unveiled in June 1929, it is located at the intersection of Bulevardul Geniului and Bulevardul Iuliu Maniu, across the street from Cotroceni Palace. One of Bucharest's most recognisable monuments, it was financed entirely through donations from veteran officers of the Engineer Arm and executed by . Set into the pyramidal base are bronze reliefs depicting the engineers in action. Four life-sized bronze statues represent troops from the Engineer Arm — a sapper, a pontoon bridge builder, a Signal Corps engineer and a Căile Ferate Române soldier. But the monument's chief component is a statue of a lion, which stands atop the pedestal. With his front paws he tramples upon the barrel of a cannon (upon which sits a Pickelhaube); a flag flows downward. The lion symbolises the endurance, daring, and bravery shown by Romanian troops between 1916 and 1918, especially at the dramatic battles during the summer of 1917 — Mărăști, Oituz, and Mărășești. Carved into the pedestal in relief is the inscription, "Spuneți generațiilor viitoare că noi am făcut suprema jertfă pe câmpurile de bătaie pentru întregirea neamului" - "Tell succeeding generations that we made the supreme sacrifice on the fields of battle for the union of the people". A medallion on the steps at the bottom reads, "EROILOR DIN ARMA GENIULUI 1916–1919" — "To the heroes of the Engineer Arm 1916–1919". (en)
