Doughboy statues are memorials that honor the American soldiers who served in World War I. The term "Doughboy" refers to the nickname given to these soldiers, believed to originate from their appearance, which resembled dough. These statues typically depict a soldier in uniform, often standing in a proud or heroic pose, and are found in many towns and cities across the United States. The most famous Doughboy statue was created by sculptor E. M. Viquesney in the early 1920s. Many of these statues are made of bronze or stone and serve as a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during the war. They are often located in public parks or near government buildings, serving as a place for reflection and remembrance.
