Missed THIS yesterday!

Bodo von Diepow first served in Inf Rgt 136 before long pre-WW1 service in Mecklenburg J?ger Battalion 14 (I'm surprised he was an Oberstleutnant zV of infantry rather than J?gers!)

Leutnant 18.8.95 Z12z

Oberleutnant 18.8.05 XX

Hauptmann 1.10.12 M2m

Major 15.7.18 G2g

and aD in that rank.

As of 1914 he held the Prussian Crown Order 4 and 1897 here, as well as the Netherlands House Order of Orange-Officer which he is quite naughtily wearing in front of his 1897 and on a wartime bar where that was an award from an enemy nation.

He was awarded his BMV4X on 12.8.15 and was

gazetted the HHOX 28 June 1917
