" Karl Bruno Julius von Mudra
(1.4.1851 - 21.11.1931)
place of birth: Bad Muskau, Sachsen (Saxony)
Saxon general of infantry who served most of his military career with the combat engineers. At war's outbreak he was attached to the Crown Prince's Fifth Army as commander of XVI. Army Corps in Metz. His troops were tasked with blocking French forces in the Argonne as they sought over the next two months to punch through the frontier. Von Mudra was subsequently awarded the Pour le Merite in 1915 for his outstanding leadership and planning in the successful conduct of this assignment. "
