1916.
Belgium.
1. The 19th Landwehr Division was formed at the same time as the divisions of the 200 Series (September-October, 1916). It was formed at Cortemarck on September 29, 1916, by the union of the 383d, 385th, and 388th Landwehr Regiments. These were made up of Landsturm battalions (Service of Supplies) of the 4th Army in Belgium, to which were added returned wounded. The 3d Battalion of the 388th Landwehr Regiment (Saxon) is the old 4th Battalion of the 100th Landwehr.
Dixmude.
2. In the beginning of October, 1916, the 19th Landwehr Division replaced the 204th Division in the Dixmude-Steenstraat sector. It remained there more than a year.
