WHICH Baby Von Bülow?

Of the three brothers and cousin von Bülow who served in Brunswick Hussar Regiment 17-- all 3 brothers of whom were flyers--

I take this chubby boyish face to be that of pre-action Walter, from the jawline, cheeks, etc.

This first one as a Fahnenjunker Unteroffizier in 1914 might be Harry, but I think it is just the soft focus that makes the nose look like Harry's (he had chubby chipmunk cheeks).

Walter? Conrad/Konrad? Harry? or cousin Otto?

Three photos proudly modelling full early war Feldgrau attire:

The remaining two are as a Fähnrich, with officer tunic fittings, bayonet knot and so on.

The better focus of these makes me think this is Walter.

Too bad he had his death's head under the busby cover, but these are the "full rig" as Off To War 1914 regulations. Here he is back in the visor cap again, these two taken together against the same drop sheet background modelling different headgear and self-conscious (yet very pleased) full length poses.

The last one

von Buelow-Bothkamp babies

Hallo,

The man on the picture has the most resemblance with Walter(his nose).
It is certainly not Harry or Conrad.
A picture of cousin Otto I have never seen.
Another brother Friedrich had already been kia in august 1914.

Friendly greetings,
Cnock.
