This is really a mix of Germans and Austrians, e.g.,
General Paulus von Stolzmann (home.comcast.net/~jcviser/akb/stolzmann.htm)
k.u.k. Oberstleutnant Alfred Purtscher (www.weltkriege.at/Obristen/Purtscher%20Alfred /Oberst%20Pu...)

The person identified as "Capt. V. Boeh u Polach" is Captain von Bock und Polach.I haven't found which von Bock und Polach this captain is, but he isn't one of the prominent ones named on the German Wikipedia page, as they were not in the army in 1915.
