Elkton Doughboy Monument

(MDDVA) The World War I Doughboy Memorial stands in front of the Maryland National Guard Armory in Elkton. The Vermont marble memorial was dedicated in 1921 and was relocated from its original site on Main Street in 1941. The carved inscription recognizes the men and women of Cecil County who served and died in the Great War. The pedestal also carries bronze plaques commemorating World War II and veterans of all wars. The memorial was rededicated in 1995 by the Monuments Commission after it was cleaned, the mortar joints were repointed, the bronze plaques were waxed and new lamps were fabricated to match the originals. Landscaping was added in 1997 with generous support from Elkton Memorial VFW Post 8175. Link
