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:
“We all end up living secret lives. We create what we are willing to admire and admiring what we shouldn’t confess to the secret of our own sin, our own insufficiency, our own sadness. We all end up taking our secrets into the world and handing them over to strangers, only to realize it’s often too late to claim them back. The very nature of time passing is sad beyond words. Memories mean they’re gone.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
“To-morrow I will have finished four-score years. I have lived to rise from the most despised and hated woman in all the world of fifty years ago, until now it seems as if I am loved by you all. If this is true, then I am indeed satisfied.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“Physical nature lies at our feet shackled with a hundred chains. What of the control of human nature? Do not point to the triumphs of psychiatry, social services or the war against crime. Domination of human nature can only mean the domination of every man by himself.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“Prostitution is the most hideous of the afflictions produced by the unequal distribution of the world’s goods; this infamy stigmatizes the human species and bears witness against the social organization far more than does crime.”
—Flora Tristan (1803–1844)
