context_page_description: David Praporgescu was a Romanian brigadier general during World War I, who was killed in action at the start of the Battle of the Southern Carpathians.
context_section_description: A village in Cerna commune, Tulcea County is named after him, and so is a street in downtown Bucharest, connecting C. A. Rosetti Street to Batiștei Street.  Other streets named after Praporgescu can be found in Arad, Brăila, Oradea, Râmnicu Vâlcea, and Turnu Măgurele.  There are also high schools in Bucharest and in his native town named after him. 
  A monument in his honor (a cross) was erected in 1924 in Câineni, then in Argeș County, now in Vâlcea County. In 1974 a bust of him – work of sculptor Gheorghe Iliescu-Călinești – was  unveiled in Turnu Măgurele.
  In 2017, Poșta Română issued a 4 lei stamp in his honor, part of the "Eternal Glory to the First World War Heroes" series, which also includes Generals  Ion Dragalina and Radu R. Rosetti.
