HISTORY.
1918.
There were repeated rumors of the division being on the Western Front in 1918, but no satisfactory identification was ever received.
According to a deserter of the 8th Dragoon Regiment, who left his regiment in Jeumont, south of Binche, on May 20, the entire 5th Cavalry Division entrained in Russia about March 6 and detrained at Zossen, south of Berlin, where it was re-formed and trained. On the 26th of April the division moved to St. Amand, from where it moved two weeks later to the Jeumont and Marpent area.
Evidence points to the dissolution of the division on the Western Front about July, 1918.
