VALUE—1917 ESTIMATE.
The 18th Army Corps has been considered one of the best corps in the German Army.
In September, 1917, the morale of the 25th Division appeared good. At this time, as the division had not taken part in any important actions since September, 1916, it was difficult to form a judgment as to the combat value of this organization.
