  "During World Wat I, in which he served as a Hauptmann (Captain) in the 210th Prussian Infantry Regiment, Jaekel attempted to re-start excavations at the-southern-BelgiaA-toWA-ef Bernissart, where- several dozen specimens of the dinosaur lguanodon had been dug up in the 1870s." Although he eventually succeeded in persuading the German occupation authorities to support his initiative, the- attempt had to be abandoned after the German army withdrew from the area in November 1918, following its surrender."
