Spirit of the American Doughboy - St. Joseph, MI - Viquesney's Spirit of the Doughboy Statues on Waymarking.com

On landscaped mound by a walkway in Bluff Park, on Lake Boulevard.

The inscription on the plaque on the mound reads:

DEDICATED NOV. 11, 1930
TO THE MEMORY OF
ALL WHO SERVED IN
THE GREAT WORLD WAR
1917 – 1918
-----
ERECTED BY
THE ST. JOSEPH POST
AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY
AND PATRIOTIC CITIZENS

The inscription on the plaque on the base of the sculpture reads:

REFURBISHED BY THE
STEVENSVILLE AMERICAN LEGION
AUXILIARY UNIT 568
MAY 1998

Prior to the 1998 refurbishment, the rifle was missing and shrubs on the mound were somewhat larger. The rifle and bayonet were restored and mound was re-landscaped in the refurbishment project. The Doughboy’s is in an excellent condition.

The people in St. Joseph must be quite proud of the Doughboy, because it’s been reported that a St. Joseph group even donated funds to help in the acquisition of a new Doughboy replication in Sarasota, Florida while the refurbishment was taking place in St. Joseph."
