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"). An artillery commander replaced the artillery brigade headquarters, the cavalry was further reduced, the engineer contingent was increased, and a divisional signals command was created. The 35th Infantry Division's order of battle on March 28, 1918 was as follows:
- 87. Infanterie-Brigade
- Infanterie-Regiment von der Marwitz (8. Pommersches) Nr. 61
- Kulmer Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 141
- 9. Westpreußisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 176
- Maschinengewehr-Scharfschützen-Abteilung Nr. 46
- 2.Eskadron/Husaren-Regiment Fürst Blücher von Wahlstatt (Pommersches) Nr. 5
- Artillerie-Kommandeur 35
- Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 71 Großkomtur
- I.Bataillon/Reserve-Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 18

“I would wish that the women of our country could embrace ... [the responsibilities] of citizenship as peculiarly their own. If they could apply their higher sense of service and responsibility, their freshness of enthusiasm, their capacity for organization to this problem, it would become, as it should become, an issue of profound patriotism. The whole plane of political life would be lifted.”
