Mount Pleasant, Utah

The Spirit of the American Doughboy, often just called The Doughboy, is a bronze sculpture often found at World War I memorials.

I see them often in my exploring and documenting and decided to create this page to document all of them.

The artist is E. M. Viquesney.

Those I have documented are located at the following places:

Beaver, Utah
Vernal, Utah

Freedom Cherished Gratefully

Battles Fought Courageously

Loss Remembered Reverently

Lives Altered Permanently

Hope Held Faithfully

Battlefield Cross

The helmet and identification tags signify the fallen soldier, their name never to be forgotten. The inverted rifle with bayonet signals a time for prayer, a break in the action to pay tribute to our friend.

The combat boots, worn and dirty, represent the final march of the soldier’s last battle.

This is located in front of the Sandy City Hall in Sandy, Utah
