6. The division came into line east of Chevisy on September 2. Its
composition had been altered by the disbandment of the 2d Reserve
Regiment and the addition of the 2d Grenadier Regiment from the 109th
Division. The British attack on the Somme of September 12 engulfed the
division, which lost 1,300 prisoners.

7. It was withdrawn about September 27 and transferred to Belgium, where
it entered the line near Dixmude on September 29. It held the line in
this sector until October 16, when it passed into the second line for a
week’s rest. Returning to line on the 23d, it remained in line until the
armistice.
VALUE—1918 ESTIMATE.
The division is rated as a third-class division. Its morale was on the
whole bad. The Polish elements deserted freely. In July pillaging of
supply trains was apparently prevalent in the divisional area. Elements
of the division refused to fight in the Oise battle in June, and the
German command appeared to have confidence in its fighting value.
3d Naval Division.
