It was one ofsix divisions that were part of I Corps. Gen. Alexander had to break upthe Division and send many of the troops of Liggett's original 41stDivision as replacements to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Divisions. Thereplacement depot for the 41st Division was based at Saint-Aignan(jokingly referred to as Saint Agony by troops) below Touraine (Pershing1931: 17; Stallings 1963: 182).

This division was incharge of screening and sending forward replacements to the fightingbrigades. Pershing inspected the 41st Division at St. Aignan on Aug. 3,1918 (Pershing 1931: 202). Later, after Alexander was given a combatcommand, Brig. Gen. Eli K. Cole led the 41st. The 41st Divisionsuffered 93 deaths and 315 wounded. Brigadier Gen.
