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 22nd Infantry Division's order of battle on May 29, 1918 was as follows:
- 43. Infanterie-Brigade
- 2. Kurhessisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 82
- Infanterie-Regiment von Wittich (3. Kurhessisches) Nr. 83
- 1. Ober-Elsässiches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 167
- 6.Eskadron/Kürassier-Regiment Kaiser Nikolas I. von Rußland (Brandenburgisches) Nr. 6
- Artillerie-Kommandeur 22
- 1. Kurhessisches Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 11
- Fußartillerie-Bataillon Nr. 50
- Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 128
- 1.Kompanie/Kurhessisches Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 11
- 2.Kompanie/Kurhessisches Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 11
- Minenwerfer-Kompanie Nr. 22

Famous quotes containing the words late, world, war and/or organization:
“No such sermons have come to us here out of England, in late years, as those of this preacher,—sermons to kings, and sermons to peasants, and sermons to all intermediate classes. It is in vain that John Bull, or any of his cousins, turns a deaf ear, and pretends not to hear them: nature will not soon be weary of repeating them. There are words less obviously true, more for the ages to hear, perhaps, but none so impossible for this age not to hear.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The world is made of sugar and dirt.”
—Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)
“In the present civil war it is quite possible that God’s purpose is something different from the purpose of either party.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“Democracy means the organization of society for the benefit and at the expense of everybody indiscriminately and not for the benefit of a privileged class.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
