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 34th Infantry Division's order of battle on March 12, 1918 was as follows:
- 68. Infanterie-Brigade
- Infanterie-Regiment Graf Werder (4. Rheinisches) Nr. 30
- 4. Magdeburgisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 67
- Königs-Infanterie-Regiment (6. Lothringisches) Nr. 145
- MG-Scharfschützen-Abteilung Nr. 44
- 5.Eskadron/Jäger-zu-Pferd-Regiment Nr. 12
- Artillerie-Kommandeur 34:
- 4. Lothringisches Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 70
- III. Bataillon/Fußartillerie-Regiment von Dieskau (Niederschlesisches) Nr. 6

Famous quotes containing the words late, world, war and/or organization:
“When any man expresses doubt to me as to the use that I or any other woman might make of the ballot if we had it, my answer is, What is that to you? If you have for years defrauded me of my rightful inheritance, and then, as a stroke of policy, of from late conviction, concluded to restore to me my own domain, must I ask you whether I may make of it a garden of flowers, or a field of wheat, or a pasture for kine?”
—Matilda Joslyn Gage (1826–1898)
