3. Bülow, Frederik R.H., 1791-1858, officer (Grænseforeningen, in Danish).
Excerpt (in translation): It has been rightly said that depicting Bülow's participation in the Three Years' War would be the same as depicting the entire war. He was at the center of virtually every major event during the war, and each time he made a positive impression. At the Battle of Bov on 9 April 1848, Bülow's brigade attacked the enemy's flank with great success and cut off his retreat. During the Battle of Schleswig on 23 April 1848, he proved his ability to attack his enemy at his most vulnerable point. At the panic in Flensburg on 25 April of the same year, he and his divisions played a leading role in the effort to gain an overview and occupy the high points south of Flensburg to meet the expected attack from the Prussians. During the match at Nybølon 28 May, when Bülow had been promoted to major general, it was his brigade that(Submitted on July 31, 2023.)made the decision. In March 1849, Bülow was given command of the forces on Als with which he defeated the Schleswig-Holsteins at Adsbøl, Arnbøl and Ullerup on 5 and 6 April 1849.Photographed By Andrew Ruppenstein, June 23, 20233.

After General Krogh's resignation after the Battle of Egernførde Fjord, Bülow was appointed chief general and was then the mastermind behind the successful retreat from Fredericia on 6 July 1849. In planning this, Bülow stood unwaveringly against Minister of War CF Hansen, who interfered in the military dispositions. He unwaveringly put his will through and carried out the move successfully.
