Notes
The son of a Prussian army officer, Beaulieu-Marconnay was a 16 year old high school student when the war began. A year later, he was a Leutnant in the 4th Prussian Dragoon Regiment wearing the Iron Cross, first class. "Bauli" eventually transferred to the German Air Service, scoring his first victory by the end of May 1918. Shortly before his 20th birthday, he was given command of Jasta 19 but on 16 October 1918, he was critically wounded during air combat. Before he died, Beaulieu-Marconnay was awarded the Blue Max. He was the youngest recipient of the war to receive Prussian's highest military honor.
