Two full-length bronze figures flank a square granite column. The figure on the left is a WWI sailor. He is dressed in uniform and wears a sailors cap. He holds a rifle in front of him with both hands placed on the barrel of the gun. The butt of the gun rests on the ground in front of him. The figure on the right is a WWI doughboy. He also wears a uniform and helmet and holds a gun in the same position.  Both figures stand with their backs to the monument column on granite bases which rest flush against the column.

The capitol of the column is decorated with bas-relief elements.  A bronze eagle, perched on an olive branch with wings outspread, is centered on the front & back faces of the column.

A huge bronze WWI infantryman stands with his rifle held hor­izontally in both hands at his waist. He wears a helmet and has packs and a water bottle. Beneath is a granite boulder the back of which is engraved with the names of the 489 men and 10 Army nurses from Cooperstown who served in WWI. On the front of the base are the names of the 54 who died. It was sculpted by Gerald D. Horn and completed in about 1920.

This is a large granite monument with a bronze plaque, dedicated to World War I veterans. Erected in 1928, the memorial is located in Soldiers & Sailors Park just outside of Markesan overlooking Little Green Lake. The memorial, and the park, were constructed in the late 1920s.

The inscription on this marker, erected in 1995 by Treasure Chest Casino, reads:

Dedicated November 11, 1995

The United States had a regular Army of only 200,000 men when it declared war on Germany on April 6, 1917. 

With a need for a larger army, Congress passed a Selective Service Act that made all able-bodied men between the ages of 21 and 30 subject to military service. The government put nearly 4 million men in uniform and sent about 2 million soldiers overseas as members of the American Expeditionary Force. 

WWI infantrymen were called "Doughboys" because of the similarity of the buttons worn on their uniforms to a popular Civil War era doughnut called a "doughboy".

This historical marker describes how Wisconsin struggled during World War I. It is located in a rest area on westbound I-94 between exits 41 and 45 near Menomonie, WI. The marker reads:

"World War I

The outbreak of war in Europe in August 1914 did not involve the United States directly. Americans expected to remain neutral in the struggle between Great Britain, France, Russia and Italy against Germany and its allies. The desire for neutrality was particularly strong in Wisconsin, with 25% of the population of Germanic extraction. But by 1917, a majority of Americans favored the cause of Great Britain and France, and President Woodrow Wilson accepted the need to defeat Germany.

The wartime period was stressful for Wisconsin. Some Americans vilified Wisconsinites as being pro-German. Super-patriots committed outrages against those suspected of "disloyalty." German culture was denigrated.

Despite such tensions, Wisconsin citizens oversubscribed to their Liberty Loan quotas and responded enthusiastically to the call to arms. Over 122,000 entered military service, of whom 15,266 served in the Wisconsin National Guard, which became the Thirty-Second Division. By war's end on November 11, 1918, almost all of the Wisconsinites killed in action and fully one-third of the 6,300 wounded were members of the Thirty-Second or "Red Arrow" Division, whose veterans earned over 800 medals for valor.

The inscription on this memorial reads:

DOUGHBOY

Not long after World War I, in 1923, the Wyoming Women’s Club decided that Wyoming should erect a memorial honoring those who had served in that war. They formed a testimonial committee that included members of the village council. The committee selected local sculptress Mary L. Alexander to create the statue and raised $5,000 to commission the work. During this period, it was decided that the statue should honor all who served - the idealistic spirit of America’s youth. It shows a young man rolling up his sleeves ready to work without a rifle or the uniform of a traditional doughboy. The statue was dedicated on November 11, 1926, the 7th anniversary of Armistice Day. It was unveiled by Mayor Frank Bonham on the lawn of what was then the Wyoming Women’s Club where it stands today. This plaque is presented by the Wyoming Women’s Club on the occasion of their 100th Anniversary
1916-2016

This wooden engraved plaque lists the names of local service members who lost their lives in World War I. It is located in the main entrance hallway of the capitol building.
