Soldiers ‘ Are Doughboys Dear Miss Grey: I notice thag they speak of doughboys in this war, Will you kindly tell me what they are? EVA. Any soldier in the American army from a general down to the rawest rookie, is a doughboy, The term “doughboy” originated during the Civil war. The sok diers in the army at that time were issued uniforms with large, fat, brass buttons, and the sail. ors, probably envying them, re ferred to the buttons as dough. boys because they resembled @ big pudding. Later, the men be came known by the term and it has remained a part of army tra ditions.
