Military Academy from 1832 to 1835 and then functioned as an adjutant
in the IV. Armeekorps headquartered in Magdeburg until 1852. In 1858, von Bose was
assigned as General Hans von Schack's Chief of Staff at Fourth Corps
headquarters. He then commanded his own regiment, followed by a
transfer to serve in the War Ministry in Berlin from 1861 to 1863.
As a Generalmajor, von Bose commanded the 15th
Infantry Brigade during the Austro-Prussian War of
1866, seeing action at Münchengrätz, Blumenau, and Königgrätz. During
the interim peacetime, he was promoted and transferred to Hannover to
command the 20th Infantry Division. The Franco-Prussian War
years saw him serving as commanding general of the XI. Army Corps, and
General von Bose was wounded twice during the Battle at Wörth.
Following the war, von Bose became the Inhaber
(proprietor) of the 31. Infanterie-Regiment in Altona, which was named
in his honor following his death in 1894.
