" this sculpture was first thought not to be Viquesney's "Spirit of the American Doughboy", but the head, torso and legs are identical to the 1920 version, as are the tops of the two shortened tree stumps on the base. According to Vestal Hills Cemetery officials, the statue was damaged in the past, and the arms were "restored" in their unusual, twisted positions (note the odd-looking proper right shoulder that looks like it once pointed the arm up). It isn't known if the original upraised right hand held ever held a grenade...So although both these statues, Vestal and Blue Ash, bear the names of two different artists, they were both made from Viquesney's original 1920 molds, and thus is included on our website. It is unknown how either George F. Yostel or M. Laugle was able to copyright or use the design already owned by Viquesney."
