German 109.Infanterie-division

[Svennie]

I am looking for info on the German 109th Infantry Division in the period October 1915 - January 1918.
- who was the divisional commander?
- to which corps and army did it belong?
- what battles was it engaged in?
- what regiments did it consist of?

Any pictures of its divisional commander, preferably with staff, are most welcome.

Thank you in advance for your kind help.
