This figure captures a quiet moment of an American Doughboy at rest during the final year of World War I. Leaning on his rifle, the soldier wears the standard uniform and gear of the American Expeditionary Forces. The term "Doughboy" has several origin stories, but one widely accepted theory links it to the adobe-like dust U.S. infantrymen encountered during the 1916 Mexican Expedition. Others associate it with the comfort brought by Salvation Army “Doughnut Lassies” who served fresh pastries to troops overseas. This piece embodies the endurance and humanity of the American soldier in the Great War.
