The article emphasises the fact that the military represented an important component of the connections between Romania and England in the interwar period. An important role in maintain military connections between the two countries was played by military attachés: Nicolae Arion, Matila Costiescu Ghika, Radu R. Rosetti, Ion Antonescu, Nicolae R?descu, Constantin S?n?tescu, Gheorghe Niculescu, Gheorghe Dumitrescu, Ermil Gheorghiu. In their diplomatic activity they supported the following: Romania being recognised in England in actual fact; providing good reports for English businessmen; developing Great Britain’s economic interests in Romania; acquainting Romania with the organisation and fighting technique of the British army; achieving a closer cooperation between the two armies (British and Romanian); building common military objectives (such as the Ta?aul military port), and others.
