WHY "DOUGHBOYS."
A doughboy is an American soldier,
and American soldiers. Infantrymen,
artillerymen, medical department, sig
nal corps sharps, officers and men
alike, are all doughboys. Our car
toonist Is one. so is General Pershing.
The term "doughboys” dates hack
to the Civil war when army wit was
aroused by large globular brass but
tons on infantry uniforms. Somebody
(he must have been a sailorl dubbed
the buttons "doughboys" because they
reminded him of the boiled dumplings
of raised dough served in ships' mess
and known to all sailors as dough
boys. Originally it referred only to
an enlisted infantry man, but the A.
K. P. applies it to all branches and
all grades of the service. The Stars
