Standing figure of a Doughboy in full military World War I uniform. His proper right hand is raised, and he holds a bayonet in his proper left hand. Behind him are two small tree stumps and barbed wire.
Gift of L. V. Patch. Moved from its first location, the intersection of Center Avenue, because cars drove into it. IAS files contain related newspaper clipping from Idaho Statesman (Boise, ID) dated March 2, 1981, pg. 7-B, which includes a photograph of the sculpture as it looked in the 1920s.
