The 11th Division was first formed as a National Guard division in early 1917 consisting of units of the Michigan and Wisconsin National Guards. By the end of that same year, the 11th Division became the 32nd Division (later 32nd Infantry Division).  The 11th Division was reformed as a National Army division in August 1918, and was commanded by Jesse McI. Carter. The division was nicknamed the Lafayette Division, and its shoulder sleeve insignia included a silhouette of Lafayette. The 17th Infantry Regiment, and the 63rd Infantry Regiment were the two units chosen as the cadre around which the division would be formed. The 71st and 72nd Infantry Regiments were formed from cadres from the 17th and 63rd Regiments. The division’s field artillery brigade was trained at West Point, Kentucky, and never actually joined the division at Camp Meade. The division’s advanced schools detachment started for England on October 25, 1918, arriving November 8, 1918. With the Armistice, further activities were halted and the division disbanded on November 29, 1918 at Camp Meade, Maryland.
