Marion, I have been gone for a while. This is late but better that than never. You are right, the Army Corps of Engineers History Office has been most helpful to me too. Everybody I have come into contact with in the U.S Army in any official capacity has been most friendly and helpful. I appreciate that they take the time to answer me and I thank them. Thanks to you too.
When I was asking my Dad about the mud, several times in the conversation he brought up the straw bales that they used in that school house outside of Thionville ( see our post November 2015). After a while in the mud, anything dry looked good to those guys.
