The Doughboy was formerly in a park in downtown Newark, but now stands between two other memorial sculptures at the VFW Post which appear to depict Civil War Army and Navy figures. Additionally, an eternal flame can be seen in the left foreground.
The engraving on the stone at the Doughboy’s feet reads:
