List of French troops in the autumn battle in Champagne

The units of the French army in the autumn battle in Champagne ( Ordre de bataille ) are listed. Since the combat support troops were already divided up in July 1914 according to the structure of the war and therefore (as in Germany) the artillery regiments were only completely assembled in one place in the rarest of cases, these are not mentioned here (with exceptions).
