Discover the Past: "WWI: The Rise and Fall of the Doughboy"

In the more than 100 years since World War I, the term "doughboy" has come to refer exclusively to the soldiers of that war. However, the origins of that term go back to the infantrymen of General Scott during the war with Mexico. In this lecture-based program, hear about the efforts of not only the infantrymen of World War I, but all of the doughboys in the "war to end all wars".
