    Recommended Posts

    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

    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.
