Title:
1918 Era Portrait of an American Doughboy-Term for WW1 Army-Marine Soldier
Description:
Wartime era portrait of a typical American doughboy, circa 1918.     Doughboy was an informal term for a member of the United States Army or Marine Corps, especially used to refer to members of the American Expeditionary Forces in World War I, but initially used in the Mexican-American War of 1846-48. A popular mass-produced sculpture of the 1920s, the Spirit of the American Doughboy, shows a U.S. soldier in World War I uniform.
The term was still in use as of the early 1940s“ for instance in the 1942 song "Johnny Doughboy Found a Rose in Ireland," recorded by Dennis Day, Kenny Baker and Kay Kyser, among others; as well as the 1942 musical film Johnny Doughboy and as a character "Johnny Doughboy" in Military Comics“ but was gradually replaced during World War II by "G.I."
