Upper Alsace.
2. Relieved north of the Aisne about April 25, the 25th Landwehr Division was transferred to Upper Alsace. At the beginning of May it went into line near the Swiss frontier (Hirtzbach, Largitzen, Bisel). It did not leave this sector since that time.
3. In May the 186th Infantry Regiment was replaced by a new regiment, the 328th Landwehr Regiment, formed by taking one battalion of each of the three regiments of the 13th Landwehr Division.
RECRUITING.
The division has a marked sectional quality; the infantry and field artillery come entirely from Westphalia.
VALUE—1917 ESTIMATE.
This is purely a sector division. The 25th Landwehr Division has been in line near the Swiss frontier for more than a year.
Since its arrival in Upper Alsace (May, 1917) the division has possessed an assault detachment supposed to carry out raids (June, 1918).
