Dragusanu disappeared one day from home. He embarked on a ship carrying
wheat from Constanta to Marseille and crossed la Mediterranean Sea in 14 days without eating anything but crackers and drinking fresh water found in the lifeboat where he stood hidden. Arriving exhausted at Marseille, he barely managed to get out of the boat in a night fog. He came to France with the precise purpose to join the Foreign Legion.
Although he was only 17, Marcel Dragusanu was admitted and passed to the air force where he advanced quickly to the rank of second lieutenant. He was a “hot head" as the French say and achieved several remarkable brave acts.
In 1916, at the age of 19, he had on his chest the “Legion of Honor" and “Croix de guerre" medals and he was seven times quoted on the “Order of the day".
In 1917, when Romania was undergoing difficult days of distress, when we knew nothing of what was going beyond the iron circle in which Mackensen’s armies surrounded us, one fine morning at the primitive airport of the Moldova headquarters landed an airplane with the three colors of France on the wings.
It was Marcel Dragusanu, who, risking his life, passed from Thesaloniki on a fighter over the enemy lines and landed safely in Moldova. General Sarrail sent by Marcel Dragusanu , French officer and Romanian citizen, important messages, the first mission of the victory that was on the verge.
The compatriots made Marcel Dragusanu an enthusiastic reception.
He has been personally decorated by the King Ferdinand I with the “Michael the Brave" medal and was quoted on the “Order of the day".
