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"). 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 35th Infantry Division's order of battle on March 28, 1918 was as follows:
- 87. Infanterie-Brigade
- Infanterie-Regiment von der Marwitz (8. Pommersches) Nr. 61
- Kulmer Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 141
- 9. Westpreußisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 176
- Maschinengewehr-Scharfschützen-Abteilung Nr. 46
- 2.Eskadron/Husaren-Regiment Fürst Blücher von Wahlstatt (Pommersches) Nr. 5
- Artillerie-Kommandeur 35
- Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 71 Großkomtur
- I.Bataillon/Reserve-Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 18

Famous quotes containing the words late, world, war and/or organization:
“Sir Andrew Aguecheek. I know, to be up late is to be up late.
Sir Toby Belch. A false conclusion. I hate it as an unfilled can. To be up after midnight and to go to bed then, is early; so that to go to bed after midnight is to go to bed betimes.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The world is forever babbling of originality; but there never yet was an original man, in the sense intended by the world; the first man himself—who according to the Rabbins was also the first author—not being an original; the only original author being God.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“It is well that war is so terrible: we would grow too fond of it!”
—Robert E. Lee (1807–1870)
“The newly-formed clothing unions are ready to welcome her; but woman shrinks back from organization, Heaven knows why! It is perhaps because in organization one find the truest freedom, and woman has been a slave too long to know what freedom means.”
—Katharine Pearson Woods (1853–1923)
