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

Famous quotes containing the words late, world, war and/or organization:
“None will now find Cupid latent
By this foolish antique patent.
He came late along the waste,
Shod like a traveller for haste.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“This is a world of compensations; and he who would be no slave, must consent to have no slave. Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, cannot long retain it.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“There are no accidents, only nature throwing her weight around. Even the bomb merely releases energy that nature has put there. Nuclear war would be just a spark in the grandeur of space. Nor can radiation “alter” nature: she will absorb it all. After the bomb, nature will pick up the cards we have spilled, shuffle them, and begin her game again.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“The organization controlling the material equipment of our everyday life is such that what in itself would enable us to construct it richly plunges us instead into a poverty of abundance, making alienation all the more intolerable as each convenience promises liberation and turns out to be only one more burden. We are condemned to slavery to the means of liberation.”
—Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)
