Matei Castriș was a Romanian Brigadier General who was one of the generals of the Romanian Land Forces in the First World War. He served as division commander in the 1916 campaign. He was commanded due to the hesitant manner of leading the subordinate troops, which led to the failure of the occupation of the city of Sibiu, during the initial period of the campaign.[3]
After graduating from the military school of officers with the rank of lieutenant, Matei Castriș held various positions in the infantry units or in the upper echelons of the army, the most important being the commander of the 1st Border Guard Regiment or the 18th Infantry Brigade.[4][5][6][7]
During the First World War he served as commander of the 1st Border Guard Brigade , between 14/27 August - 28 August / 10 September 1916 and of the 23rd Infantry Division , between 28 August / 10 September - 9/22 September 1916.[3]
