Redressing the neglect of World War I memorials in art history scholarship, this volume shows why sculptures of "doughboys" (US soldiers during World War I) were in such demand during the 1920s, and how their functions and meanings have evolved. Jennifer Wingate recovers and interprets the circumstances of the doughboy sculptures' creation.
