Brian,
While probably changing during the war, the last peacetime order of battle for the regiment (stationed at Diedenhofen) was 45. Kavallerie-Brigade (HQ Saarlouis), 34. Division (HQ Metz), XVI. Armeekorps (also Metz). Perhaps someone can take it from there.
Regards, Karl

Bob, you know what division this was assigned to?

Bob,
Unfortunately, the Ehrenmal des preußischen Offizerskorps does not provide first names. However, there are many other sources, obscure though they may be, that do.
One of those is the "Ehren-Tafel der gefallenen königlich-preußischen Kadetten." According to this, the first name of Herr Rittmeister Bodenstedt was Waldemar. No date of birth, but you now have the full name of the bar's original owner.
