GL z. D. Theodor von Wernitz

[Deutschritter]

Gentlemen, when researching for Max Carl Erdmann Gronau I also read a little about August Friedrich Anton Ernst Louis Theodor Wernitz, since 1913 von Wernitz (1848-1922), once commander of the 35. Kavallerie-Brigade, veteran of the Franco-German War (EK II), no longer in the Rangliste 1910 (now Gutsherr auf Thymau), surely reactived in 1914, commander of the Division von Wernitz, later renamed 86. Infanterie-Division. Can anyone contribute to this surely interesting carreer? Thanks! Any decorations would be great, he received the EK I and the swords to his RAO2 in WWI.
