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 3rd Reserve Division triangularized in November 1915. 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 3rd Reserve Division's order of battle on March 1, 1918 was as follows:
- 5.Reserve-Infanterie-Brigade:
- Füsilier-Regiment Königin Viktoria von Schweden (1. Pommersches) Nr. 34
- Pommersches Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 49
- Pommersches Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 2
- 1.Eskadron/3. Badisches Dragoner-Regiment Prinz Karl Nr. 22
- Artillerie-Kommandeur 73:
- Reserve-Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 3
- IV.Bataillon/Reserve-Fußartillerie-Regiment Nr. 14 (from 23.06.1918)
- Stab Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 303:
- 2. Reserve-Kompanie/Pommersches Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 2
- 2. Reserve-Kompanie/Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 34
- Minenwerfer-Kompanie Nr. 203
- Divisions-Nachrichten-Kommandeur 403

Famous quotes containing the words late, world, war and/or organization:
“Names on a list, whose faces I do not recall
But they are gone to early death, who late in school
Distinguished the belt feed lever from the belt holding pawl.”

“He looked like the love thoughts of women. He could be a bee to a blossom—a pear tree blossom in the spring. He seemed to be crushing scent out of the world with his footsteps. Crushing aromatic herbs with every step he took. Spices hung about him. He was a glance from God.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“The man who fears war and squats opposing
My words for stour, hath no blood of crimson
But is fit only to rot in womanish peace”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“It is essential that there should be organization of labor. This is an era of organization. Capital organizes and therefore labor must organize.”
