The 159th figures on many pages in 'THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS THE WAR AGAINST GERMANY'.
This is under the heading: The VIII Corps Crossing at the Rhine Gorge
The 159th Engineer Combat Battalion after moving the 345th Infantry across the river, considered the crossing "not tough at all, that is, not like we expected it to be."
An understatement? Or what is meant by Seahorses - Stay RUGGED!
