Pre-World War I Organization
German divisions underwent various organizational changes after the Franco-Prussian War. With the creation of the 38th Division, most Thuringian elements were transferred to the new division and replaced with the Electorate of Hesse units (the 167th Upper Alsatian Infantry Regiment, despite its name, was recruited in the Electorate of Hesse and Prussian Saxony). The organization of the 22nd Division in 1914, shortly before the outbreak of World War I, was as follows:
- 43. Infanterie-Brigade
- 2. Kurhessisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 82
- Infanterie-Regiment von Wittich (3. Kurhessisches) Nr. 83
- 44.Infanterie-Brigade
- 2. Thüringisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 32
- 1. Ober-Elsässiches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 167
- 22. Kavallerie-Brigade
- Dragoner-Regiment Freiherr von Manteuffel (Rheinisches) Nr. 5
- Husaren-Regiment Landgraf Friedrich II. von Hessen-Homburg (2. Kurhessisches) Nr. 14
- 22. Feldartillerie-Brigade
- 1. Kurhessisches Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 11
- 2. Kurhessisches Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 47

Famous quotes containing the words war and/or organization:
“High on a throne of royal state, which far
Outshone the wealth of Ormus and of Ind,
Or where the gorgeous East with richest hand
Show’rs on her kings barbaric pearl and gold,
Satan exalted sat, by merit raised
To that bad eminence; and, from despair
Thus high uplifted beyond hope, aspires
Beyond thus high, insatiate to pursue
Vain war with Heav’n, and by success untaught,
His proud imaginations”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“... every woman’s organization recognizes that reformers are far more common than feminists, that the passion to look after your fellow man, and especially woman, to do good to her in your way is far more common than the desire to put into every one’s hand the power to look after themselves.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
