• Richthofen during the Kaiser military parade, 20 August. Although a military event that required attendance, photographs such as this reveal light-hearted moments in which Richthofen freely mingled with comrades. Here, a smiling Richthofen walks with Rudolf Berthold (left) and Eduard Dostler (over Richthofen's left shoulder). It is poignant to note that the day after this light-hearted scne, Dostler was shot down and KiA. (picture source: Inside the victories of Manfred von richthofen - Volume 2, James F.

Vermoedelijk op de dagen voor of na het bezoek van de keizer aan Markebeke, is er een parade doorgegaan. Locatie is onzeker, ofwel Hertsberge ofwel Deinze. Het is wel zeker dat het niet in Markebeke was.
