Cracks and physical wear and tear plagued the five-foot tall sculpture and strong winds recently contributed to its collapse.
The Town/Village of Harrison is currently in the process of determining the best way to replace the fallen doughboy. Sculptors, and related specialists in the field of military monuments, are being consulted.
Upon completion, the newly replaced statue of the doughboy will be unveiled in a rededication ceremony at the park.
