Thanks for the excellent pictures but it is the official wording that goes with the citation that I'm interested in.
His most Magnificent Emperor, Frederick, awards to his most beloved subject, Von Kluckenheim, etc, etc and blah, blah, blah.

Text for Boelcke
Wir Wilhelm,
von Gottes Gnaden König von Preußen etc., haben dem Leutnant  Oswald Boelcke, Fliegeroffizier beimKampfgeschwader II der obersten Heeresleitung, den Orden pour le mérite verliehen und erteilen demselben über den rechtmäßigen Besitz dieser Auszeichnung das gegenwärtige Beglaubigungsschreiben mit unserer eigenen Unterschrift und dem beigedruckten Königlichen Insiegel. Großes Hauptquartier, den 12. Januar 1916. Wilhelm [handwritten] R. [probably for Rex, handwritten as well] Compare the book: Andreas Thies: Boelcke, page 245. An eyeball-breaking task in the evening´s darkness of my working room. Hope it helps. On Thies homepage (use Google) you can see the diploma but it is a mess because of the (intentional?) high compression of the jpg-format of the picture.
