Landwehr Brigade was sent south of Arras (sector Wailly-Blaireville).
FLANDERS.
2. In the middle of September it returned to the Armentieres front (from
the Armentières-Lille railroad to Aubers). It occupied this sector for a
year and a half.
1917.
1. In 1917 sector south of Armentières.
In April, 1917, the 38th Landwehr Brigade was transformed into the 38th
Landwehr Division by the addition of a third regiment, the 79th Reserve-
85th Landwehr, a composite regiment (1st and 2d Battalions of the 85th
Landwehr Regiment, four companies of the 79th Reserve Regiment, the
eight others having entered into the composition of the 440th Reserve
Regiment of the 183d Division).
VALUE—1917 ESTIMATE.
The 38th Landwehr Division, formed of fairly old men, constitutes an
organization of the third class. It held an honorable position in the
battles of Ypres in 1914 and 1915, but, as a rule, its rôle was limited
to occupying calm sectors. (Belgian Summary of Information, February,
1918.)
1918.
FLANDERS.
1. The 38th Landwehr Division was relieved on January 16 in the sector
south of Armentieres by the 187th Division and went to rest in the
region east of Bruges.
2. After a week’s rest it relieved the 8th Bavarian Reserve Division
north of Dixmude on January 22. It was relieved by the 214th Division on
February 20.
3. On March 3 it relieved the 2d Naval Division east of Ramscappelle
(north of Bruges) in the sector just north of the one it previously
occupied.
4. About the 10th of May the division side slipped toward the south, and
in so doing relieved the 19th Reserve Division.
5. About the middle of October it side slipped southward. It was still
in line on the 11th of November, although it was forced with the rest of
the German line in Flanders, to withdraw considerably.
VALUE—1918 ESTIMATE.
The 38th Landwehr is rated as a fourth-class division. It could be and
was used only to hold a quiet sector. Most of the men were nearly 40
years of age, and so it was found necessary to have a divisional
“Stosstrupp” for purposes of patrolling.
On November 1 the Franco-American forces in Belgium started an offensive
in conjunction with the British 2d Army farther to the south. On the
same day, according to the Belgium communique, “The Belgian Army carried
out successful minor operations along the drainage canal,” and the
German communique said, “The 57th (13th Reserve Division) and the 79th
Reserve (38th Landwehr Division) Infantry Regiments distinguished
themselves in the course of this fighting.”

HISTORY.
(15th Corps District—Alsace.)
1914.
ALSACE AND THE VOSGES.
1. Upon mobilization, the 39th Division and the 30th Division formed the
5th Army Corps (Strassburg).
At the beginning of the campaign the 39th Division was a part of the 7th
Army (Von Herringen). In the first days of August it fought in the pass
of the Bonhomme. On the 9th it went into Cernay and Mulhouse and was
transferred to Dabo (Vosges) on August 19. On August 20 it took part in
the battle of Albreschwiller and crossed the frontier on the 31st. It
advanced to a point between the Meurthe and the Mortagne and then
retreated fighting.
CHAMPAGNE.
2. Entraining on September 9, it was transferred to the northwest of
Rheims, where it fought between Craonne and Ailles until October.
FLANDERS.
3. At the end of October it became a part of the 6th Army (Crown Prince
of Bavaria), of which the 15th Army Corps formed the right wing (north
of Lille) until the summer of 1915.
1915.
FLANDERS.
1. Before our attacks of 1915 it was attached to the 4th Army (Duke of
Wurttemberg), south of Ypres. At this time the 15th Army Corps became
the left wing of the 4th Army. In April the 39th Division gave the 171st
Infantry Regiment to the 115th Division, a new formation.
2. The 39th Division was retained in the vicinity of Ypres until the
month of February, 1916. One of its regiments, the 172d Infantry
Regiment, suffered heavy losses there on September 25 (its 8th Company
received at least 111 men as replacements between September 28 and
October 16).
1916.
VERDUN.
1. At the beginning of 1916 various elements of the 15th Army Corps were
transferred to the vicinity of Verdun and concentrated on the right bank
of the Meuse, in the area Piennes-Etain-Ornel-Senon.
2. At the beginning of the German offensive on February 24, the 39th
Division suffered relatively few losses, the battle being less intense
in the Woevre. But little by little all its units were engaged. On March
8, the 132d Infantry Regiment took part in the attacks upon Douaumont,
and on the 18th upon the Caillette wood. Its losses were enormous. On
July 11 the 126th Infantry Regiment was in action with two regiments of
the 30th Division. Almost all its battalions went successively to the
active sectors in the vicinity of Vaux (Aug. 18). At Verdun the division
lost 69 per cent of its infantry.
SOMME.
3. On October 20 the 39th Division was relieved from the Verdun front
and transferred to the Somme. On the 29th it occupied the sector of
Sailly Saillisel. In the attack of Sailly Saillisel by the French troops
the three regiments of the division were all put into line
simultaneously and acted especially with the assault troops. In these
battles the losses of the division were very great (an average of 80 men
per company). In the 126th Infantry Regiment, the 4th Company received
at least 82 men as replacements between November 16 and 23; the 3d
Company, 106 men.
VERDUN.
4. Withdrawn from the Somme, about November 11, the 39th Division was
again sent to Verdun. Between December 8 and December 12 it went into
the sector between the Louvemont road and the Chaufour wood and there
sustained our attack of December 15. It was relieved on the 20th, very
much exhausted, and went for reorganization near Vouziers.
1917.
ARGONNE.
1. About January 10, 1917, the division went into line in the sector of
Ville sur Tourbe (Argonne). It was withdrawn at the beginning of March.
In the course of this month, it was engaged in Champagne, in the attack
of March 27 at Cernay en Dormois. It remained in the sector of Massiges
until the beginning of May.
CHAMPAGNE.
2. It then went to the vicinity of Rheims (Loivre-Berry au Bac sector)
from May 11 to the beginning of July.
ARTOIS.
3. Sent to rest near Asfeld, it then went into line west of Fontaine les
Croisilles (middle of July). Withdrawn from the Arras front, it occupied
the Loos sector in September.
FLANDERS.
4. At the end of October, it went to Flanders, Passchendaele sector,
then Becelaere sector.
ARTOIS.
5. At the end of November, it was again in Artois, north of La Bassee
Canal, a position which it was still occupying February, 1918.
RECRUITING.
The 171st and 172d Infantry Regiments are recruited in the Rhine
District, in the widest sense of the word (Grand Duchy of Baden, Rhenish
Hesse, Rhine Province), and from Westphalia.
The 126th Infantry Regiment, in Alsace since 1871, represents the
participation of Wurttemberg in the guard of the Reichsland. Besides its
maintenance by the younger recruiting classes, at the end of 1916 it
took some of the best elements from the 123d, 125th, and 126th Landwehr
Regiments (young Landsturm classes, then having at least 20 to 22 months
of service).
VALUE—1917 ESTIMATE.
In spite of its relatively high losses, the 39th Division did well on
the Somme (October to November, 1916). During its second engagement at
Verdun, the Division was much less brilliant. Its resistance was weak
(December, 1916).
1918.
LA BASSEE.
1. During the night of February 25–26 the 39th Division was relieved by
the 44th Reserve Division and went to rest near Sequedin (west of
Lille), where it is presumed to have been trained in open warfare.
PICARDY.
2. About the middle of March, when the Germans were concentrating their
reserves on the Cambrai-St. Quentin front, the 39th Division left the
Lille area for the Cambrai front. On the 21st of March, when the initial
attack was delivered, the 39th Division was in reserve to the 20th
Division and only came into action on the evening of that day, at
Beaumetz (west of Cambrai). Encountering fighting of the severest kind,
the division had to be withdrawn to reserve by the evening of the 23d.
3. The division reappeared in line on the 28th and continued to make
slow progress until it reached the area south of Hebuterne (west of
Bapaume). It was relieved on the 6th of April by the 26th Division and
went to rest in the Cambrai area.
LYS.
4. It left this area about the 12th and marched by stages to the Lys
battle front, arriving on the 17th in the Estaires area (west of Lille).
The German attacks in this area had been successfully held up by the
British by this time and the division was not immediately required. On
the 30th it came into line northwest of Merville (west of Lille) and
relieved the 12th Reserve Division. The division was not heavily engaged
in this sector; it was relieved by the 44th Reserve Division on May 26
and went to rest in the vicinity of Lille.
5. On the 3d of July it relieved the 48th Reserve Division in the Vieux
Berquin sector (east of Hazebrouck), and was relieved by the 187th
Division during the night of July 13–14. It went to the Haubourdin area
(southwest of Lille) and there received training as an assault division.
ARRAS.
6. During the night of August 2–3 it relieved the 185th Division south
of Neuville-Vitasse (south of Arras). In the heavy fighting that
followed the division lost over 1,300 prisoners and was driven back as
far as Cherisy, where it was withdrawn on the 30th and went to rest near
Aniches (east of Douai).
CAMBRAI.
7. On September 18 the division reenforced the front near Ecourt-St.
Quentin (northwest of Cambrai). It was driven back as far as Palluel,
where it was relieved by the 58th Division on the 28th.
YPRES.
9. The division entrained at Roulers and detrained at Menin, entering
line east of Gheluvelt (north of Menin) all on the same day. About the
25th of October it was withdrawn from line near Vichte (east of
Courtrai) to which point it had been driven back. It rested then for
about a week in the region of Audenarde.
10. During the night of October 31-November 1 the division relieved the
23d Reserve Division in the Nukerke sector (south of Audenarde); it was
identified in line there on the 9th and was probably still there on the
11th.
VALUE—1918 ESTIMATE.
The 39th is rated as a second-class division. With the exception of a
statement in the German communique of October 2, that the 132d Regiment
had displayed “unusual fighting ability” in the operations north of
Menin, there is nothing to show that the division had distinguished
itself in any way in the fighting during 1918.

HISTORY.
(Bavaria.)
1915.
ALSACE.
1. The 39th Bavarian Reserve Division was formed in February, 1915, on
the Alsace front in the vicinity of Ste. Marie aux Mines. (See 30th
Bavarian Reserve Division.)
It then comprised the 52d Landwehr Brigade, consisting of the 80th
Landwehr Regiment and 29th Ersatz Regiment (since become the 61st), and
the 1st Bavarian Ersatz Brigade (81st Landwehr Regiment, 3d and 1st
Bavarian Ersatz Regiments). After October, 1915, we find them officially
designated “Bavarian.”
2. During 1915 and until the beginning of November, 1916, the 39th
Bavarian Reserve Division occupied the sector included between the Ban
de Sapt and Ste. Marie aux Mines. The elements of the division took part
in several local attacks in this region (south of Lusse in February,
1915; at La Fontenelle in June and July, 1915).
1916.
ALSACE.
1. 1916 same sector of Alsace (Ban de Sapt and Ste. Marie aux Mines).
2. In March, 1916, the composition of the 39th Bavarian Reserve Division
was modified—the 81st Landwehr Regiment was replaced by the 15th
Bavarian Landwehr Regiment, coming from the 1st Bavarian Landwehr
Division. In July the division comprised the 1st Bavarian Ersatz Brigade
(1st and 3d Bavarian Ersatz Regiments) and the 9th Bavarian Ersatz
Brigade (the 15th Bavarian Landwehr Regiment and the 5th Bavarian Ersatz
Regiment, the latter having been formed in July).
3. In October the 3d Bavarian Ersatz Regiment was assigned to the 9th
Bavarian Reserve Division and the 29th Ersatz Regiment to the 223d
Division, both being new formations. From that time on the 39th Bavarian
Reserve Division was entirely Bavarian.
In November the 15th Bavarian Landwehr Regiment went over to the 30th
Bavarian Reserve Division, which sent the 2d Bavarian Ersatz Regiment in
its place to the 39th Bavarian Reserve Division.
VERDUN.
4. Relieved from its sector in the Vosges about November 6, 1916, the
39th Bavarian Reserve Division was sent to the Verdun front in the
vicinity of Vaux. It underwent the French attack of December 15, during
which certain of its units (5th Bavarian Ersatz Regiment) suffered
heavily. It was withdrawn on December 17.
1917.
ALSACE.
1. In the middle of January, 1917, the 39th Bavarian Reserve Division
was sent back to its former sector in the vicinity of Ste. Marie aux
Mines (Wisembach, Lusse, Provenchères) which it occupied from then on
without changing.
VALUE—1917 ESTIMATE.
Except in December, 1916, at Verdun, the 39th Bavarian Reserve Division
has always occupied the same sector of the Vosges. Its combat value
appears mediocre.
The average age of the men in the 1st and 5th Bavarian Ersatz Regiments
is between 30 and 40 years (April to July, 1918).
In February and March, 1918, all the younger elements (20 to 26 years)
were withdrawn from the division and sent to active and reserve
regiments.
1918.
ALSACE.
1. The 39th Bavarian Reserve Division was still in its sector in Alsace,
northwest of Ste. Marie aux Mines, on the 11th of November.
VALUE—1918 ESTIMATE.
It is rated as a fourth-class division. Most of the men are old, the
younger men having been combed out in February and March to be sent to
other organizations, and although the companies are large—the average
ration strength seems to be 200 men—the division has very little combat
value.
