The 88th Infantry Division (''88. Infanterie-Division'') was a unit of the Imperial German Army in World War I. The division was formed in November 1914 as the Menges Division (''Division Menges''), named after its commander, and made up primarily of Landwehr troops.〔(Division Menges (Chronik 1914/1915) )〕 It became the 88th Infantry Division in August 1915.〔(88. Infanterie-Division (Chronik 1915/1918) )〕 The division was disbanded in 1919 during the demobilization of the German Army after World War I. ==Combat chronicle==
The Menges Division initially served on the Eastern Front, receiving its baptism of fire in the Battle of Łódź. In 1915, it participated in the Gorlice-Tarnów Offensive, breaking through at Przaznysz and fighting in the battle on the Narew. On August 2, 1915, it became the 88th Infantry Division. From November 1915 to December 1917, the division occupied the line near Daugavpils. In December 1917, after the armistice on the Eastern Front, the division was transferred to the Western Front, where it entered the line in positions near St. Quentin and on the Oise. It participated in the 1918 German Spring Offensive, fighting in the First Battle of the Somme (1918), also known as the Battle of St. Quentin or the Second Battle of the Somme (to distinguish it from the 1916 battle). From April to July 1918, it was in the line in the Champagne region, and then fought in the Second Battle of the Marne. Except for minor periods, it remained in the Champagne region until the end of the war, and faced the Allied Meuse-Argonne Offensive in October and November 1918. Allied intelligence rated the division as fourth class.〔〔''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. 566-568.〕
