1. On June 3 the division entrained in the Woevre and traveled via
Conflans-Sedan-Mezieres-Laon to Malmaison, where it detrained on June 4.
It marched to the front via Fismes, Fere en Tardenois, and Fresnes. It
came into line on the Marne near Mont St. Pere about June 10. Here it
was in line until July 15, when it dropped back to permit an attacking
division to pass through. In the retreat the division again came into
line a few days later and was heavily engaged on the defense until about
August 1.
2. Heavy losses, including 300 prisoners on July 23, led to the
dissolution of the division. Its effectives were turned into other fresh
divisions. The 372d, 377th, and 378th went to the 37th Division, 36th
Division, and 201st Division in the order named.
