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 41st Infantry Division was triangularized in May 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 41st Infantry Division's order of battle on March 31, 1918 was as follows:
- 74. Infanterie-Brigade
- Infanterie-Regiment von Grolmann (1. Posensches) Nr. 18
- 5. Westpreußisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 148
- Deutsch Ordens-Infanterie-Regiment (1. Elsässisches) Nr. 152
- 4. Eskadron/Dragoner-Regiment König Albert von Sachsen (Ostpreußisches) Nr. 10
- Artillerie-Kommandeur 41:
- 3. Ostpreußisches Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 79
- II. Bataillon/2. Pommersches Fußartillerie-Regiment Nr. 15
- Stab Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 26:
- 1.Kompanie/Masurisches Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 26
- 2.Kompanie/Masurisches Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 26
- Minenwerfer-Kompanie Nr. 41

Famous quotes containing the words late, world, war and/or organization:
“A glimpse through an interstice caught,
Of a crowd of workmen and drivers in a barroom around the stove late of a winter night, and I unremarked seated in a corner,
Of a youth who loves me and whom I love, silently approaching and seating himself near, that he may hold me by the hand,
A long while amid the noises of coming and going, of drinking and
oath and smutty jest,
There we two, content, happy in being together, speaking little,
perhaps not a word.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“One does not set fire to a world which is already lost.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“It is a war against the pines, the only real Aroostook or Penobscot war.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“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–?)
