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"). 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 30th Infantry Division's order of battle on April 1, 1918 was as follows:
- 60. Infanterie-Brigade
- 2. Oberrheinisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 99
- Kgl. Sächs. 6. Infanterie-Regiment König Wilhelm II. von Württemberg Nr. 105
- 4. Unter-Elsässisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 143
- 2.Eskadron/Husaren-Regiment Kaiser Nikolaus II von Rußland (1. Westfälisches) Nr. 8
- Artillerie-Kommandeur 30
- Reserve-Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 84
- Kgl. Bayerisches 10. Fußartillerie-Bataillon
- Stab 1. Elsässisches Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 15
- 1.Kompanie/Elsässisches Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 15
- 5.Kompanie/Elsässisches Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 15

“The press and politicians. A delicate relationship. Too close, and danger ensues. Too far apart and democracy itself cannot function without the essential exchange of information. Creative leaks, a discreet lunch, interchange in the Lobby, the art of the unattributable telephone call, late at night.”
—Howard Brenton (b. 1942)
“The triple pillar of the world transformed
Into a strumpet’s fool.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“We only know war lasts, rain soaks, and clouds sag stormy.”

“The village had institutionalized all human functions in forms of low intensity.... Participation was high and organization was low. This is the formula for stability.”
