Late-war Organization
Given its late formation, the division underwent fewer structural changes than other divisions by late-war. It became more Hessian in nature, losing the 35th Brandenburg Fusiliers to the 228th Infantry Division and receiving the 186th Infantry Regiment (Infanterie-Regiment Nr.186), a regiment formed from the Grand Duchy of Hesse and the Prussian Province of Hesse-Nassau. The division's order of battle on October 19, 1918 was as follows:
- 112.Infanterie-Brigade:
- Infanterie-Regiment Nr.88
- Infanterie-Regiment Nr.118
- Infanterie-Regiment Nr.186
- 4.Eskadron/Braunschweigisches Husaren-Regiment Nr. 17
- Artillerie-Kommandeur Nr. 56:
- Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr.112
- Fußartillerie-Bataillon Nr.56
- Pionier-Bataillon Nr.139
- Divisions-Nachrichten-Kommandeur Nr. 56
