Bulow

Bulow, Friedrich Wilhelm von, general, was born in 1755 at Falkenberg. Entering the Prussian army at the age of 14, he was engaged in the revolutionary war with France from the beginning. On the renewal of hostilities in 1813 he was in command at the battle of Mockem, the first successful encounter with the French. He defeated Oudinot at Luckau and Grossbeeren, and Ney at Dennewitz. For these and other signal services he was raised to the rank of general, awarded an estate, and given the title Count of Dennewitz. In 1815 he headed the column in Blucher's army that first came to Wellington's aid at Waterloo. He died in 1816 at Konigsberg.
