5. After two weeks’ rest in the Cambrai area, the division returned to
line at Molain on October 17. It fought in the Molain-Catillon area
until October 23, when it was relieved by the 19th Reserve Division. On
November 1 it was again in line, northwest of the Hattencourt Farm. The
last identification was at Any, on November 7.

suggest that the division was a second class division.
