where it was in reserve (May 8–12). The following day it took over the
sector west of Hurtebise, where it participated in several attacks (May
20-June 17), losing heavily therein.
2. The division was relieved June 21 and went to rest south of Mezieres
(La Francheville, etc.), where it was reconstituted.
CHAMPAGNE.
3. July 25 it went back into line on the Champagne front (sector south
of Ste. Marie-a-Py); it did not take part in any important engagements
there.
4. The division was withdrawn December 27.
VALUE—1917 ESTIMATE.
The division was recruited in the southern part of Bavaria. The presence
of contingents from the Bavarian Alps was responsible for the withdrawal
of the Body Regiment to form the Alpine Corps.
Despite the losses it suffered during May and June in the Hurtebise
sector, the 1st Bavarian Division may still be considered a good
division. It has had time to reconstitute itself during the long calm
period spent in Champagne (July 25-Dec. 27, 1917).
1918.
ARGONNE.
1. Withdrawn from line, the division was put through a course of
training. It relieved the 80th Reserve Division north of Vauquois
February 17.
2. It was relieved by the 80th Reserve Division about the 1st of March.
ST. QUENTIN.
3. The opening day of the March offensive the division reinforced the
front south of St. Quentin. It was withdrawn the next day.
4. March 23 it came back into line north of Chauny. It was withdrawn
about the 30th.
LASSIGNY.
5. April 6 it relieved the 3d Bavarian Division west of Lassigny. It was
in turn relieved by the 3d Bavarian Division on the 12th.
CHAMPAGNE.
6. Having suffered a great deal in the fighting on the Somme, the
division was taken to a quiet sector in Champagne, relieving the 52d
Reserve Division May 1 north of Souain. About June 30 it was relieved by
the 30th Division.
7. It reinforced the front near Souain July 15. It was withdrawn about
the 31st.
SOISSONS.
8. The division entered line northeast of Soissons August 11.
NOYON.
9. It was relieved by the Jaeger Division about August 19, and moved to
the west, taking over the Cuts sector, southeast of Noyon, August 20,
and was withdrawn the 22d.
COUCY-LE-CHATEAU.
10. August 31 the division was identified at Folembray, northwest of
Coucy-le-Chateau; withdrawn about September 12.
CHAMPAGNE.
11. About September 27 it took over the Manre sector, southeast of
Vouziers, where it remained, fighting, until the signing of the
armistice.
VALUE—1918 ESTIMATE.
The 1st Bavarian is rated as a first-class assault division; it was
utilized as such throughout 1918. It fought well; its losses were
severe.

HISTORY.
1914.
LORRAINE.
1. The Bavarian Reserve Division (1st Bavarian Reserve Corps, with the
5th Bavarian Reserve Division) was at the beginning of the war part of
the 6th Army (Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria), and detrained in Lorraine
August 13–14. After having helped to check the French offensive in
Lorraine, participated in the battle of August 20, entered Luneville,
and after having fought at Einville, early in September, it went to rest
in the vicinity of the Paris-Avricourt railroad, and later march to Metz
by stages.
ARRAS.
2. September 27–28 the division entrained at Metz and was carried to
Cambrai. Entering line between Douai and Arras, it fought at Izel,
Gavrelle, Rouvroy (Oct. 2–3). On the 5th its right wing was at Souchez,
the whole 1st Bavarian Reserve Corps being then in line north of Arras.
October 23 the two divisions of the corps attacked violently along the
Carency-Roclincourt front; they remained in line until June, 1915, the
1st Bavarian Division being between Roclincourt and Écurie.
1915.
NEUVILLE-ST. VAAST.
1. In May, 1915, the 1st Bavarian Reserve Division was engaged at
Neuville-St. Vaast, when it was reinforced by two battalions of the 99th
Reserve Infantry Regiment. The 2d Bavarian Reserve Regiment suffered
casualties of 14 officers and 1,413 men (casualty list).
LE LABYRINTHE.
2. In June the division fought at the Labyrinth.
3. It continued to hold the sector north of the Scarpe, but moved toward
the south in December, the front of the 1st Bavarian Reserve Corps
extending as far as Blaireville.
1916.
1. The division remained in line east of Arras, straddling the Scarpe
until August, 1916. From May to August, it comprised the 12th Bavarian
Reserve Regiment, instead of the 3d Bavarian Reserve Regiment, loaned
temporarily by the 5th Bavarian Reserve Division.
SOMME.
2. Withdrawn August 8, it went to the Somme. It was engaged the 12th in
the Clery sector, and was relieved as early as the 15th by the 1st Guard
Division after having suffered heavily.
3. The second fortnight in August the division was at rest near Cambrai.
The end of that month and early in September, some elements of the
division were engaged near Clery and Martinpuich in order to facilitate
reliefs.
AISNE.
4. About the middle of September the 1st Bavarian Reserve Corps was
withdrawn from the region of the Somme and sent to the Aisne, where the
1st Bavarian Reserve Division occupied a sector to the west of Craonne
until the beginning of December.
5. Brought back north of the Somme, it sent some elements into line in
the Beaumont-Hamel sector (north of the Ancre, December-January).
1917.
ARTOIS.
1. After sometime at rest, the division went back into line February 27
to the north of Arras (Roclincourt-Neuville-St. Vaast). April 9 it
received the full shock of the British attack—lost the villages of
Thelus and Bailleul and 1,500 prisoners.
LA BASSÉE.
2. Relieved about the 15th of April, the division rested, and then
entered line north of the La Bassée Canal (east of Festubert). It
remained here five months, taking no part in any important engagements
but suffering losses as a result of gas attacks.
FLANDERS.
3. It left for Belgium October 6–7, and took over the Zandvoorde sector
(southeast of Ypres) on the 8th.
VALUE—1917 ESTIMATE.
The 1st Bavarian Reserve Division is a good division, but its combatant
value can not be compared to that of the active Bavarian divisions.
1918.
1. Here it remained in line until February 11, when it was relieved by
the 239th Division and withdrawn to rest in the Menin area, before it
had suffered many casualties.
DIXMUDE.
2. March 9 it relieved the 54th Reserve Division in the Dixmude sector.
It was relieved on the 22d by the extension of the fronts of the
neighboring divisions.
3. It marched to Zedelghem the same day, and reached Seclin on the 23d.
The 28th it came into reserve near Douai. It was undoubtedly intended to
reinforce the German attack on the Arras front on the 28th, but as this
was a complete failure, it returned to the Carvin area.
LYS.
4. April 9 the division reinforced the front near Richebourg-St. Vaast,
and took part in the initial attack on the Lys battle front the same
day. It advanced through Lacouture, Vieille-Chapelle, and had reached
Zelobes April 10. After the first day’s fighting it met with a strong
resistance and suffered heavily. It was relieved near Robecq by the
239th Division, April 18.
LOOS.
5. April 27 the division relieved elements of the 207th Division east of
Loos (south of the La Bassee Canal).
YPRES.
6. It was relieved by the 16th Division about September 27, marched to
Carvin, which it left September 29, and entrained at Seclin for Heule,
whence it marched into line via Moorseele. It was identified near
Roulers October 4. It was relieved by the 6th Cavalry Division October
16.
7. After a rest of only a few days the division came back into line on
the 23d to the south of Deynze, whence it was withdrawn about October
31. It did not return to line.
VALUE—1918 ESTIMATE.
The 1st Bavarian Reserve Division took part in no real fighting with the
exception of the Lys offensive, in which it did nothing to distinguish
itself. It would seem that the division does not deserve to be rated
higher than third in a scale of four classes.

HISTORY.
1914.
LORRAINE.
1. The origin of the 1st Bavarian Landwehr Division dates from the
stabilization of the Lorraine front after the check of the Germans
before Grand-Couronne in September, 1914.
2. At the beginning of the war the different elements which were to
enter into the composition of the division were employed in Lorraine in
rear of the combatant troops. The 71st Landwehr Regiment came from the
war garrison of Strasburg.
3. These elements grouped in three brigades forming the 1st Bavarian
Landwehr Division, were brought up to the front early in September and
put into line in the Château-Salins sector (from Jallaucourt to the
Rhine-Marne Canal).
1915.
LORRAINE.
1. From that time on the division occupied the same front in Lorraine,
on each side of the Rhine-Marne Canal, broadening or narrowing its front
according to the number of troops in line in the region.
2. During the summer of 1915 its limit was carried to the southeast
gradually as far as the Luneville-Avricourt railway, next to the region
south of Leintrey; to the northeast as far as the western ledge of the
Foret de Bezange.
3. In May, 1915, the 60th Landwehr Bde. was detached from the division,
and replaced by the 5th Bavarian Landwehr Bde. (4th and 5th Bavarian
Landwehr Regiments) coming from the 10th Ersatz Division.
1916.
LORRAINE.
1. South of Leintrey—western edge of the Foret de Bezange. In January,
1916, the 14th Bavarian Landwehr Bde. was detached from the 1st Bavarian
Landwehr Division; the 122d Landwehr Regiment (Wurttemburg) passed to
the 2d Landwehr Division; the 15th Bavarian Landwehr Regiment to the
39th Bavarian Landwehr Division. The brigade was replaced by the 9th
Bavarian Landwehr Bde. (6th and 7th Bavarian Landwehr Regiments). The
division thus became entirely Bavarian; it was increased, shortly after,
by the addition of the 60th Reserve Regiment, which was later
(September) attached to the 221st Division.
2. In July, 1916, the 13th Bavarian Landwehr Bde. was withdrawn from the
division and replaced by battalions of Landsturm.
1917.
LORRAINE.
1. In January, 1917, the division’s sector was shortened—it was limited
on the southeast by the western edge of the Foret de Paroy. In March it
ended northwest of Juvrecourt. In June it extended itself once more to
the southeast, fixing itself finally in July between Juvrecourt and the
eastern edge of the Foret de Paroy; the limits have not varied since
then.
2. About the first of the year the 5th Bavarian Landwehr Regiment passed
to the 2d Bavarian Landwehr Division (new formation—Russian front).
VALUE—1917 ESTIMATE.
The 1st Bavarian Landwehr Division established itself on the Lorraine
front in September, 1914, after the hard fighting in that region had
ceased. It executed some important raids with its assault company,
notably in June, 1917 (Foret de Paroy), and November (Arracourt region).
In general, however, it remained exclusively on the defensive. It is
made up of men whose physical value is often diminished; who have,
consequently, waged only position warfare, and that upon a defensive
front.
1918.
LORRAINE.
1. The division remained in the Parroy sector in Lorraine throughout
1918, and, with the exception of a very few raids executed by the
divisional Stosstrupp, did nothing.
VALUE—1918 ESTIMATE.
Losses and reinforcements have been few. The strength of the companies
appears to be about 80 men, of an average age of 35–40 years. The 1st
Bavarian Landwehr is rated as a fourth-class division.
