Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Standing at the corner of Connecticut and Niagara Streets in Buffalo, New York, at the southwest corner of the Connecticut Street Armory, is American Doughboy 'Over the Top' to Victory: a statue of a U.S. World War I soldier carrying a bayoneted 1903 Springfield rifle and hurling a grenade. It's a copy of a similarly named statue by John Paulding whose original is located in Salem, Oregon. Buffalo's version was erected in 1921 by the Veterans' Association of the 74th Infantry of the National Guard of New York "in honor of the members of [the unit] who served in the World War, 1917-18, and in grateful memory of those who made the supreme sacrifice". Engraved on the pedestal are the names of 86 Buffalonians who were killed in action.
