Late World War I Organization
Divisions underwent many changes during the war, with regiments moving from division to division, and some being destroyed and rebuilt. During the war, most divisions became triangular - one infantry brigade with three infantry regiments rather than two infantry brigades of two regiments (a "square division"). In the case of Landwehr divisions, the mixed Landwehr brigades were converted to regular infantry brigades before being triangularized, and were often used to form new units. The 1st Landwehr Division's order of battle on January 15, 1918 was as follows:
- 34. Landwehr-Brigade:
- Landwehr-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 31
- Landwehr-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 33
- Landwehr-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 84
- 3. Eskadron/Jäger-Regiment zu Pferde Nr. 12
- Artillerie-Kommandeur 128:
- Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 96
- Stab Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 401:
- 1.Ersatz-Kompanie/Pionier-Bataillon Prinz Radziwill (Ostpreußisches) Nr. 1
- 2.Landwehr-Pionier-Kompanie/II. Armeekorps
- Minenwerfer-Kompanie Nr. 301
- Divisions-Nachrichten-Kommandeur 501

Famous quotes containing the words late, world, war and/or organization:
“Lancaster bore him such a little town,
Such a great man. It doesn’t see him often
Of late years, though he keeps the old homestead
And sends the children down there with their mother
To run wild in the summer a little wild.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“The world has not to be put in order: the world is order incarnate. It is for us to put ourselves in unison with this order.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“The Revolution was effected before the War commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments of their duties and obligations.... This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people, was the real American Revolution.”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
“The art of government is the organization of idolatry. The bureaucracy consists of functionaries; the aristocracy, of idols; the democracy, of idolaters. The populace cannot understand the bureaucracy: it can only worship the national idols.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
