The Waldow Division/5th Landwehr Division served on the Western Front. It generally occupied the line between the Meuse and Moselle Rivers and around Verdun. From February to July 1916, it participated in the Battle of Verdun. In September 1918, it fought the Americans and French in the Battle of Saint-Mihiel. Allied intelligence rated the division as fourth class; it was considered primarily a sector holding division and not an offensive formation.〔〔''Histories of Two Hundred and Fifty-One Divisions of the German Army which Participated in the War (1914-1918), compiled from records of Intelligence section of the General Staff, American Expeditionary Forces, at General Headquarters, Chaumont, France 1919'' (1920), pp. 117-119.〕
