    • 1892, Richard von Pfeil und Klein-Ellguth, Erlebniſſe eines Preußiſchen Offiziers in Ruſſiſchen Dienſten während des Türkiſchen Krieges 1877/78, Berlin: Ernſt Siegfried Mittler und Sohn, Kapitel 3. „Von Bukareſt nach Gorni-Studen“ [chapter iii: “From Bucharest to Gorni-Studen”], page 19:
      Vom Fürſten Carl von Rumänien — dem jetzigen König — dem das ruſſiſche Einſchließungsheer von Plewna unterſtellt war, erzählte man ſich, derſelbe habe, in echt hohenzollernſcher Gründlichkeit, bei einigen ruſſiſchen Truppentheilen die im Stärkeverzeichniß angegebenen Zahlen mit der Wirklichkeit verglichen und dabei arge Unredlichkeiten gefunden; es ſeien viel weniger Mannſchaften geweſen, als angegeben. Ruſſiſcherſeits habe man dieſe unerwartete Prüfung ſehr übelgenommen.
      It is related of Prince Charles of Roumania, the present king, under whose orders the investing army at Plevna was placed, that, with the thoroughness of the true Hohenzollerner, he compared the figures shown on the strength-returns of some Russian troops with the actual numbers, and found that there were serious discrepancies; there were much fewer men than were shown. The Russians were very much offended at this unexpected test.
