Ogden City Cemetery WWI Doughboy

The bronze doughboy in Ogden City Cemetery has moved once already. Sculptor Gilbert Risvold cast the World War I infantryman in the 1920s for the Herman Baker American Legion post on 24th Street, where it stood on the hall's balcony; after the Second World War, the Legion gave it to the city and it came to rest among the graves. Over the decades weather had cost it a helmet and a rifle bolt. Volunteers reforged the missing pieces and rededicated the figure in 2018, a century after the guns of the Great War fell silent.
