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 3rd Reserve Division triangularized in November 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 3rd Reserve Division's order of battle on March 1, 1918 was as follows:
- 5.Reserve-Infanterie-Brigade:
- Füsilier-Regiment Königin Viktoria von Schweden (1. Pommersches) Nr. 34
- Pommersches Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 49
- Pommersches Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 2
- 1.Eskadron/3. Badisches Dragoner-Regiment Prinz Karl Nr. 22
- Artillerie-Kommandeur 73:
- Reserve-Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 3
- IV.Bataillon/Reserve-Fußartillerie-Regiment Nr. 14 (from 23.06.1918)
- Stab Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 303:
- 2. Reserve-Kompanie/Pommersches Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 2
- 2. Reserve-Kompanie/Pionier-Bataillon Nr. 34
- Minenwerfer-Kompanie Nr. 203
- Divisions-Nachrichten-Kommandeur 403

Famous quotes containing the words late, world, war and/or organization:
“When we consider what, to use the words of the catechism, is the chief end of man, and what are the true necessaries and means of life, it appears as if men had deliberately chosen the common mode of living because they preferred it to any other. Yet they honestly think there is no choice left. But alert and healthy natures remember that the sun rose clear. It is never too late to give up our prejudices.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The world perishes not from bandits and fires, but from hatred, hostility, and all these petty squabbles.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“War and culture, those are the two poles of Europe, her heaven and hell, her glory and shame, and they cannot be separated from one another. When one comes to an end, the other will end also and one cannot end without the other. The fact that no war has broken out in Europe for fifty years is connected in some mysterious way with the fact that for fifty years no new Picasso has appeared either.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“I will never accept that I got a free ride. It wasn’t free at all. My ancestors were brought here against their will. They were made to work and help build the country. I worked in the cotton fields from the age of seven. I worked in the laundry for twenty- three years. I worked for the national organization for nine years. I just retired from city government after twelve-and-a- half years.”
—Johnnie Tillmon (b. 1926)
