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
- Divisions-Nachrichten-Kommandeur 22

Famous quotes containing the words late, world, war and/or organization:
“Too late in the wrong rain
They come together whom their love parted:
The windows pour into their heart
And the doors burn in their brain.”

“Think of the better world we could build if men and women, if even for a little while longer, were freed from their greatest fear: the fear of death and the grave.”
—Robert D. Andrews, and Nick Grindé. Dr. Ralph Howard (Edward Van Sloan)
“From the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”
—Charles Darwin (1809–1882)
“The newly-formed clothing unions are ready to welcome her; but woman shrinks back from organization, Heaven knows why! It is perhaps because in organization one find the truest freedom, and woman has been a slave too long to know what freedom means.”
—Katharine Pearson Woods (1853–1923)
