Deciphering a Signature

[Ian]

I hope someone will be  able to decipher the this signature for me please?

I understand the salutation is as follows:

Mein Bosniak "Flock"

 

Juli 1916

 

           , GM

Hi,

I read it as Rauch, and it could be von Rauch?

Gentlemen,

Thankyou for your responses. 

Rauch can be 'safely' ruled out as there is no Rauch mentioned in Schmidt-Brentano's work on Austro-Hungarian Generals.

I have compared the photo to both Maximilian Lauer (not promoted to Generalmajor) and Viktor Bauer (later Feldmarschalleutnant) to my mystery GM and neither matches IMHO. 

I have tentatively settled on Ludwig Bauer as the most likely candidate, but to date,  I have not seen any conclusive evidence to support my hypotheses.
