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

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)
“The blind conviction that we have to do something about other people’s reproductive behaviour, and that we may have to do it whether they like it or not, derives from the assumption that the world belongs to us, who have so expertly depleted its resources, rather than to them, who have not.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“As for charity, it is a matter in which the immediate effect on the persons directly concerned, and the ultimate consequence to the general good, are apt to be at complete war with one another.”
—John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)
“It is essential that there should be organization of labor. This is an era of organization. Capital organizes and therefore labor must organize.”
—Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)
