William. In the Franco-See also:German See also:War Lieut.-See also:Colonel Count Waldersee, on See also:account of both his admitted military talents and his See also:recent experience of the enemy's army, proved a most useful assistant to the " supreme War-See also:Lord." He was present at the See also:great battles around See also:Metz, in which he played more than an orderly officer's See also:part, and in the war against the See also:republic he was specially sent to the staff of the See also:grand See also:duke of See also:Mecklenburg-See also:Schwerin, who was operating against See also:Chanzy's army on the Loir. The grand duke was a See also:good soldier, but not a brilliant strategist, and the fortunate outcome of the western campaign was largely due to his adviser. At the end of the war Waldersee received the First Class of the See also:Iron See also:Cross, and was entrusted with the exceedingly delicate and difficult See also:post of German representative at Paris, in which his tact and See also:courtesy were very marked. At the end of 1871 Waldersee took over the command of the 13th Uhlans at Hanover, and two years later he became See also:chief of the staff of the Hanoverian army corps, in which he had served before 187o. In 1881 he became See also:Moltke's See also:principal assistant on the great general staff at See also:Berlin, and for seven years was intimately connected with the great field marshal's See also:work, so that, when Moltke retired in 1888, Waldersee's See also:appointment to succeed him was a foregone conclusion. Threeyears later the chief of the general staff was sent to command the IX. Corps at See also:Altona, an appointment which was interpreted as indicating that his See also:close and intimate friendship with See also:Bismarck had made him, at this See also:- TIME (0. Eng.

On the despatch of See also:European troops to quell the Boxer insurrection in See also:China in 1900, it was agreed that Count Waldersee should have the supreme command of the See also:joint forces. The preparations for his departure from See also:Germany caused a good See also:deal of satirical comment on what was known as the "Waldersee Rummel" or " theatricals." He arrived at the front, however, too See also:late to See also:direct his troops in the fighting before See also:Peking. At the end of the war he returned to See also:Europe. He resumed at Hanover his duties of inspector-general, which he performed almost to his See also:death, which took See also:place on the 5th of See also:March 1904.
