"THE WORLD WAR I DOUGHBOY
Adjacent to the Firefighter is the statue of the World War I Doughboy. The Doughboy has this place of honor since 1919. There are plaques on the four sides of the monument. Two commemorate the “honored dead” from Sayre and South Waverly who fell in World War I. Another commemorates those fallen soldiers from World War II and the Conflicts in Korea and Vietnam. The last is dedicated to Veterans of All Wars. A cannon, dating from World War I which had been placed originally to the front and left of the Doughboy, was removed for its scrap metal for World War II."
