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"). The 84th Infantry Brigade was detached to form the core of the 52nd Infantry Division in March 1915. The 57th Infantry Brigade headquarters and the 114th Infantry Regiment were detached to form the infantry base of the 212th Infantry Division in September 1916. 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 29th Infantry Division's order of battle on January 1, 1918 was as follows:
- 58.Infanterie-Brigade:
- 4. Badisches Infanterie-Regiment Prinz Wilhelm Nr. 112
- 5. Badisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 113
- 7. Badisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 142
- 4.Eskadron/Jäger-Regiment zu Pferde Nr. 5
- Artillerie-Kommandeur 67:
- 2. Badisches Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 30
- II. Bataillon/Reserve-Fußartillerie-Regiment Nr. 9 (from 15.VI.1918)
- Stab Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 130:
- 1./Badisches Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 14
- 5./Badisches Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 14
- Minenwerfer-Kompanie Nr. 29
- Divisions-Nachrichten-Kommandeur 29

They come together whom their love parted:

And the doors burn in their brain.”

“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.”
