59th Infantry Regiment (United States)
The 59th Infantry Regiment is a regiment of the United States Army first established in 1917.
It appears that the last remaining element of the Regiment, 1st Battalion, 59th Infantry, was part of the 191st Infantry Brigade until 1968.〔McGrath, The Brigade.〕 The 191st Infantry Brigade disbanded in 1968〔http://www.history.army.mil/books/Lineage/M-F/chapter12.htm〕 and it seems likely that the 59th Infantry disappeared for all practical purposes at that time.
==History==
The 59th Infantry, organized in 1917 by transfer of men from the 4th Infantry Regiment, saw hard fighting as a part of the 4th Division in Champaign in the Aisne-Marne engagement, in Lorraine at St Mihiel and at the Meuse-Argonne. In the Aisne-Marne offensive the regiment did gallant service against the Chateau-de-Diable north of the Vesle River. In this action "a squad of machine gunners, in woolen olive drab uniforms were sighted approaching the flank of the 59th from the direction of the Chateau-de-Diable. Cautioned by one of his men that the approaching men were American the Sergeant commanding the flank platoon yelled, 'They come from the wrong direction, let 'em have it.' The dead men were later identified as Germans in American uniforms."
The coat of arms was originally approved for the 59th Infantry Regiment, Organized Reserves on 10 Sep 1921. It was amended on 18 Nov 1921 to correct the wording of the blazon. It was redesignated for the 59th Armored Infantry Regiment on 8 Jul 1943. On 30 Nov 1943 the coat of arms was redesignated for the 59th Armored Infantry Battalion. It was amended on 26 Oct 1951. On 16 Jun 1952 it was redesignated for the 59th Infantry Regiment, Organized Reserves. The coat of arms was amended on 24 Sep 1959 to withdraw "Organized Reserves" from the designation and to delete the Organized Reserves' crest. On 5 Aug 1970 it was amended to reinstate the crest of the Army Reserves and revise the symbolism.
