Description[]
The Doughboys have a long history. The Doughboys were the men America sent to France in the Great War, and fought to make the world safe for democracy. The expression doughboy, though, was in wide circulation a century before the First World War in both Britain and America, albeit with some very different meanings. Because of the occasional contact of the two nation's armed force and transatlantic migration, it seems likely that this usage was known to the members of the U.S. Army by the early 19th century. In the end, it was established that a "doughboy" was an American infantryman in World War 1.[1]
