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

Famous quotes containing the words late, world, war and/or organization:
“We all end up living secret lives. We create what we are willing to admire and admiring what we shouldn’t confess to the secret of our own sin, our own insufficiency, our own sadness. We all end up taking our secrets into the world and handing them over to strangers, only to realize it’s often too late to claim them back. The very nature of time passing is sad beyond words. Memories mean they’re gone.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
“He that is giddy thinks the world turns round.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“O I know they make war because they want peace; they hate so that they may live; and they destroy the present to make the world safe for the future. When have they not done and said they did it for that?”
—Elizabeth Smart (1913–1986)
“The Red Cross in its nature, it aims and purposes, and consequently, its methods, is unlike any other organization in the country. It is an organization of physical action, of instantaneous action, at the spur of the moment; it cannot await the ordinary deliberation of organized bodies if it would be of use to suffering humanity, ... [ellipsis in original] it has by its nature a field of its own.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
