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

Famous quotes containing the word organization:
“When a man’s partner’s killed, he’s supposed to do something about it. It doesn’t make any difference what you thought of him, he was your partner and you’re supposed to do something about it. As it happens, we’re in the detective business; well, when one of your organization gets killed, it’s, it’s bad business to let the killer get away with it. Bad all around. Bad for every detective everywhere.”
—John Huston (1906–1987)
