HISTORY.

(7th Corps District—Westphalia.)

1915.

The 50th Division (one of the new divisions in the 50 to 58 series) was

formed in March, 1915, by taking three regiments from the three

divisions of the 7th Corps and 7th Reserve Corps (the 13th Division

giving the 158th Infantry, the 14th Division the 53d, and the 14th

Reserve Division the 39th Fusileer Division), all Westphalian Regiments.

1. At the end of March, 1915, the 158th and 53d Infantry Regiments were

identified at Hirson (Aisne), while the 39th Fusileer Regiment was still

between Perthes and Tahure. In April the division was concentrated and

was identified in Champagne, May 14 (area south of Somme-Py).

CHAMPAGNE.

2. From June to October it occupied the sector of Tahure (north of

Perthes and Mesnil les Hurlus). It there underwent the French offensive

of the end of September, which caused it very heavy losses—infantry, 130

officers and 7,849 men casualties; the 100th Company of Pioneers lost 5

officers and 135 men.

3. Sent to rest and reorganized in the vicinity of Vouziers and of

Juniville (end of October to the end of November), it reappeared on

November 7 north of Prosnes (east of Reims).

1916.

CHAMPAGNE.

1. In April, 1916, the division left the sector of Prosnes-Prunay, for

the front northeast of Verdun (Ornes).

VERDUN-VAUX.

2. Going into action, at the beginning of May, north of Vaux, it took

part in the attacks launched upon the line Caillette wood-Damloup (June

1 to June 3), which ended in the capture of the fort of Vaux by the

158th Infantry Regiment on June 4.

3. Very much exhausted by these battles, the division was sent to rest

and reorganized in the vicinity of Étain in June and July.

4. In July elements of the division occupied the calm sectors of the

Woëvre.

5. At the end of July the 50th Division went back into line at Verdun,

south of the fort of Vaux. It launched an attack on August 1 (La

Laufée), underwent the French offensives of August 8 and October 24,

suffering heavy losses, and held this sector until November.

ARGONNE.

6. Sent to the Argonne, it took over the sector of Vauquois.

1917.

1. Withdrawn from the Argonne on February 15, 1917, the division

remained at rest in the area of Saulces-Champenoise until the end of

March, then in the camp at Sissonne, then at Thenailles, near Vervins

(beginning of April).

AISNE.

2. Concentrated on April 8, it went into action on the 15th at

Juvincourt and there underwent the French attack of April 15. After

heavy losses it was relieved between April 29-April 27 and went for

reorganization to Nizy le Comte, near the Sissonne Camp.

CHEMIN DES DAMES.

3. About May 10, the division went back into line east of Allment on the

Chemin des Dames.

4. It was sent to rest in July in the vicinity of Mons en Laonnois,

Coucy les Eppes, Parfondru.

5. At the beginning of August, it came back to the Chemin des Dames

(vicinity of Ailles), where, on October 15, the 9th Company of the 158th

Infantry Regiment was reduced to 50 men, including officers (letter).

Following the French offensive upon La Malmaison, the 50th Division

retired on November 1, to the north of the Ailette toward Neuville

(outside of Chamouille) and was still occupying this sector in December.

RECRUITING.

Upon its formation the division was composed of Westphalian troops. The

recruiting is still almost exclusively Westphalian.

VALUE—1917 ESTIMATE.

Since the battle of Vaux in June, 1916, the division likes to consider

itself a shock division.

Its prolonged stay on the Ailette front (August to December) seems to

mean that it had to be put at rest for a fairly long time before being

engaged in an active sector.

It must be regarded as a good division, capable of putting up a vigorous

defense (December).

1918.

1. The 50th Division was withdrawn from line near Ailles (west of

Craonne) on January 9, the neighboring divisions extending their fronts,

and moved by easy stages to the Chimay area, where it arrived on the

14th. It remained here for a month during which time it was thoroughly

trained in open warfare and brought up to strength. It then moved to the

La Capelle-Fontenelle area for rest and further training.

ST. QUENTIN.

2. The middle of March the division moved up to the front, and on the

21st attacked in the front line southwest of St. Quentin; it captured

Holnon during the day, Etreillers on the 22d, Hangest en Santerre on the

29th, and reached Moreuil on the 30th. It was withdrawn about April 1,

after having suffered severely heavy losses, and went to rest, refit,

and train in the Lassigny region.

AISNE.

3. On May 27, the division attacked near Craonne, reached Pontavert

toward noon and crossed the Aisne. The following day it crossed the

Vesle west of Breuil sur Vesle and continued to the south, where a

French counterattack was repelled. On the 30th it reached Goussancourt,

and then the Marne east of Dormans. After having suffered severe losses,

it was relieved by the 28th Reserve Division during the night of June

12–13, and went to rest in the Laon region.

RHEIMS.

4. On the 19th of July the division was thrown into line just southwest

of Rheims to meet the Allies’ tightening at the bases of the Chateau-

Thierry salient. It was withdrawn early in August.

5. About the 30th of September it came back into line northwest of

Rheims, near Prouilly and Cormicy. It remained here, and was driven

back—fighting stubbornly—passing near Brimont, Guignicourt, and Banogne,

where it was withdrawn on the 7th of November.

MEUSE.

6. After a day’s rest, the division was put back into line on the 8th

near Mezieres; it had not been withdrawn when the armistice was signed.

VALUE—1918 ESTIMATE.

The 50th is rated as a first-class division. It distinguished itself in

the fighting during 1918. After the Somme offensive, it was praised by

Prof. Wegener in the Koelnische Zeitung. Immediately after the battle of

the Aisne Maj. Fritsch, in command of the 158th Regiment, was awarded

Pour le Mérite. After the Allied counteroffensive, Lieut. Gen. V.

Engelhuhten, the division commander, was decorated and made governor of

Riga, and the commander of the 53d Regiment was also decorated. The 58th

Regiment was mentioned as having particularly distinguished itself in

the fighting near Banogne in the German communique of October 30. Losses

suffered throughout the year were enormous, but the High Command did all

in its power to make these good. There are no desertions of record since

July 1, 1917. The morale was very good, everything being taken into

consideration.

HISTORY.

(10th Corps District—Hanover and Brunswick.)

1914.

1. The 50th Reserve Division (belonging to the 1st series of divisions

created between August and October, 1914), formed a part of the 25th

Reserve Corps with the 49th Reserve Division. It received its training,

at the time of its formation, in the Alten-Grabow Camp in the 4th Corps

District.

POLAND.

2. In the middle of October the 50th Reserve Division and the 49th

Reserve Division belonged to the 8th Army (Von Hindenburg) and took part

in the second German offensive in Poland (battles between the Vistula

and the Warta in October, Lodz in November, on the Bzura-Rawka front in

December).

Since November the 25th Reserve Corps has belonged to the 9th Army.

1915.

1. Engaged in the operations along the Bzura (region of Bolimow) during

the winter and spring of 1915, the 50th Reserve Division took part in

the summer offensive of Von Hindenburg and pursued the Russians to the

vicinity of Baranovitchi. In June it transferred the 232d Reserve

Infantry Regiment to the 107th Division, a new formation.

2. In September the 25th Reserve Corps was dissolved—the 49th Reserve

Division remained in Russia, the 50th Reserved Division was transferred

to the Western Front. The division entrained at Kovno on October 7.

(Itinerary: Koenigsberg-Marienburg-Stettin-Hamburg-Bremen-Osnabrueck-

Muenster-Aix la Chapelle-Namur-Givet.) It detrained at Rethel October

13–14.

FRANCE-CHAMPAGNE.

3. On October 16 the 50th Reserve Division was sent to Champagne. It

cooperated in the gas attack of October 27 in the vicinity of Rheims and

remained in line until December 19.

ARTOIS.

4. Entraining at Witry les Rheims for Douai on December 21, it took over

the sector Roclincourt, east of Neuville-St. Vaast.

1916.

1. Having lost heavily at Neuville-St. Vaast, the 50th Reserve Division

was withdrawn from this sector in March, 1916, and south of Armentières

(Grenier wood), from April to September. It rested in this calm sector.

SOMME.

2. About December 16 the division was relieved and went into action on

the Somme (Martinpuich-Flers), from September 20 to 28. It suffered very

heavily there.

3. From October 6 to November 11 it occupied the sector south of the

canal of La Bassée (northeast of Vermelles).

4. The division returned to the Somme, on both banks of the Ancre (near

Miraumont, Grandcourt), about November 20, and remained in this active

sector until December 22.

5. At the end of December it went to rest in the vicinity of

Valenciennes.

1917.

1. In January, 1917, the elements of the 50th Reserve Division were in

reserve at Achiet le Petit.

SOMME.

2. At the end of January the 50th Reserve Division came back into line

north of the Ancre (Beaumont-Hamel); it lost heavily there (200

prisoners) on February 11.

3. Withdrawn from the Somme front at the beginning of March, it went

into line east of Transloy (south of Bapaume) on March 13. It withdrew

to the Hindenburg Line, near Metz en Couture (southwest of Cambrai), and

remained there from the end of March to April 18.

ARTOIS.

4. After a rest in the vicinity of Douai until the middle of May, the

division took over the sector of Oppy-Gavrelle, northeast of Arras,

where it did not take part in any important action (May 18 to June 10).

FLANDERS.

5. Transferred to the Ypres front about June 11, in anticipation of the

British attack, it was kept in reserve in the vicinity of Roulers until

July 24.

6. On July 31 the 50th Reserve Division went into action in St. Julien

and suffered heavy losses while fighting for the possession of the

village (Aug. 1–2).

7. Relieved on August 10 it was sent to rest in the vicinity of Mons and

went back into line on September 20, was engaged on the 26th in the

vicinity of Gheluvelt, and left the Ypres front on October 3, after

serious losses—the 1st Company of the 231st Reserve Infantry Regiment

was reduced to 15 men after September 21, the 6th Company to 28.

(British Summary of Information, Oct. 24.)

LILLE.

8. At the end of October it took over a sector in the vicinity of Lille

(Fromelles) (until the middle of December).

CAMBRAI.

9. It then occupied the lines before Cambrai south of Marcoing and

Masnières (Dec. 21-Jan. 31, 1918).

RECRUITING.

At the beginning the 50th Reserve Division was composed of drafts from

Silesia and Prussian Saxony, but after the end of 1915 it received most

of its replacements from the 10th Corps District. The 229th Reserve

Infantry Regiment is from Brunswick; the two others from Hanover. In

certain documents we find the division designated as “troops from lower

Saxony.”

VALUE—1917 ESTIMATE.

The 50th Reserve Division took part in a great number of battles.

Its morale was shaken by the heavy losses which it suffered; it has

improved very much.

The division fought comparatively well at Ypres.

1918.

1. The 50th Reserve Division was withdrawn from line south of Marcoing

on the 31st of January, the neighboring divisions extending their

fronts, and went to the area east of Cambrai, where it received training

in open warfare.

PICARDY.

2. On the 13th of March the division marched from Cagnoncles via

Carnières and Cattenières to Esnes, and on the 17th proceeded to Villers

Outreaux. On the 20th it came into line southwest of Cambrai and took

part in the attack of the 21st. The division suffered very heavy losses

and was relieved by the 9th Reserve Division on the 22d, going to rest

at Liéramont (northeast of Peronne).

3. On the 23d the division followed up the advance behind the 9th

Reserve Division via St. Pierre-Vaast wood (24th), Rancourt-Combles

(25th), Montauban (26th), Fricourt (27th), and on the following day went

into line southwest of Albert, carrying out an unsuccessful attack. In

another attack against the ridge west of Dernancourt on April 5 the

division was beaten back with heavy losses. It was relieved on the 9th

and went to rest at Maricourt.

4. During the night of April 17–18 it relieved the 18th Division near

Morlancourt (south of Albert). It was relieved by the 199th Division

early in May and went to rest and refit in the Solesmes area.

5. On the 24th of May it traveled by rail to Montauban (south of

Albert), marched via Maricourt to Carnoy the following day, and came

into line during the night of May 27th–28th south of Albert. It was

relieved by the 54th Reserve Division on June 28 and went to rest near

Cambrai.

SOISSONS.

6. On the 19th of July the division entrained at Le Cateau and traveled

via St. Quentin to Chauny, where it was loaded on trucks and sent to the

Forêt de Pinon. On the 28th it relieved the 20th Division near Buzancy

(south of Soissons). Here it was gradually forced to retire toward the

northeast, was finally withdrawn to the north of Braine about the 20th

of August, and went to the region between Laval and Laon.

7. The presence of elements of the 231st Reserve Regiment was reported

the 4th of September west of Vauxaillon, and on the 6th to the south of

Neuville sous Margival, the rest of the regiment being in the Urcel-

Laval region.

8. On September 14 the whole division went back into line east of

Soissons near the Mennejean Farm. This was surrounded by the French on

the 15th. The following day Sancy fell to them, too. The same day the

plateau to the east and northeast of the Mennejean Farm was captured. On

the 18th the division lost still more ground and prisoners; it was

withdrawn on the 21st and went to rest near St. Pierre a Arnes (south of

Machault).

RHEIMS.

9. On the 2d of October the division came back into line northeast of

Rheims, near Bétheny, and went through very heavy fighting. It was still

in line on November 11.

VALUE—1918 ESTIMATE.

On October 11 the following was written: “The division did fairly well

in its recent encounters, the men, though lacking in enthusiasm, seeming

possessed by a dogged determination to do what they conceived to be

their duty. The morale, which was good, has been very much lowered by

recent losses.” That this statement is erroneous seems to be proved by

the fact that the German communiqués of October 22, November 1 and 2,

say that the division “had shown particular merit in the recent

fighting, retook their position in counterattack and repulsed hostile

attacks,” “bore the brunt of the fighting * * * without showing signs of

weariness,” and “again maintained their positions against heavy

attacks.” Therefore, although the division suffered heavy losses,

especially in the spring, it is still to be considered as second class.
