		The Allies might even have given real soldiers the task of wearing the ghost division patches, in case uncontrolled enemy agents were in a position to report their existence.

	First World War.com - Who's Who - Hugh Jeudwine
		Jeudwine, whose military career had brought him success in defeating the Boers during the South African War of 1899-1902 and whose background was in artillery, was initially Sir Edmund Allenby's Chief of Staff in 1915 at V Corps.
		Given command of the Territorial 55th Division from January 1916 until the end of the war, Jeudwine led them into action at Third Ypres in 1917 and at Cambrai later that year in November (where the division was criticised by some for weakness).
		Nevertheless 55th Division held the ragged line in the face of fierce German attacks, an action which helped preserve the Channel ports and earned the division subsequent high praise from Haig.

		The 1st Armored Division’s 55th Personnel Support Battalion (PSB) is a vital cog in the U.S. Army’s war-fighting, peacekeeping machine.
		The 55th PSB is not, however, the type of unit that is satisfied with sitting in the rear, making it difficult for soldiers to have access to their services, Cline said.
		The behind-the-scenes nature of 55th PSB prevents them from drawing the same kind of glamorous command or media attention than other units in the Old Ironsides Division, “but that is the name of the game,” Cline said.
