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"). In the case of Landwehr divisions, the mixed Landwehr brigades were converted to regular infantry brigades before being triangularized, and were often used to form new units. The 2nd Landwehr Division's order of battle on January 5, 1918 was as follows:
- 54. Landwehr-Brigade
- Württembergisches Landwehr-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 120
- Württembergisches Landwehr-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 122
- Württembergisches Landwehr-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 125
- 4.Eskadron/Ulanen-Regiment König Wilhelm I (2. Württembergisches) Nr. 20
- Artillerie-Kommandeur 148:
- Landwehr-Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 2
- Stab Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 402:
- 1.Landwehr-Kompanie/Württembergisches Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 13
- 5.Landwehr-Kompanie/Württembergisches Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 13
- Minenwerfer-Kompanie Nr. 302
- Divisions-Nachrichten-Kommandeur 502

“It is too late to be studying Hebrew; it is more important to understand even the slang of to-day.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Feminism is an entire world view or gestalt, not just a laundry list of women’s issues.”

“Armies, for the most part, are made up of men drawn from simple and peaceful lives. In time of war they suddenly find themselves living under conditions of violence, requiring new rules of conduct that are in direct contrast to the conditions they lived under as civilians. They learn to accept this to perform their duties as fighting men.”
—Gil Doud, U.S. screenwriter, and Jesse Hibbs. Walter Bedell Smith (Himself)
“Unless a group of workers know their work is under surveillance, that they are being rated as fairly as human beings, with the fallibility that goes with human judgment, can rate them, and that at least an attempt is made to measure their worth to an organization in relative terms, they are likely to sink back on length of service as the sole reason for retention and promotion.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
