A Dutch newspaper, the Handelsblad, reported today that Prince Wolrad Friedrich of Waldeck und Pyrmont was killed in action on the western front while "engaged in patrolling."
Prince Wolrad was a half-brother to the Dowager Queen Emma of the Netherlands, the Princess of Bentheim and Steinfurt, the Duchess of Albany, and the Princess of Erbach-Schönburg. His half-brother, Friedrich, is the current Prince of Waldeck und Pyrmont.
He was born in 1892, and he was killed on October 14, 1914, in France.
He was the only child of the late Prince Georg Viktor of Waldeck-Pyrmont and his second wife, Princess Louise of Schleswig-Holstein.
The prince was only 22 when he was killed.
