I remember going to this statue as a child with my parents. It was here
that my mother told me that my grandfather was a Doughboy. I am the 3rd
generation of combat veterans. We also have ancesters in the Civil War, War
of 1812 and American Revolution. This was a good Memphis memory.

I used to pass the statue many times a week as a child. My uncle Reid
Ferguson was killed in France in WWI and his name was either left off the
momument or his name was mispelled as "Robert" Ferguson. How can I go
about correcting this error?

Here is the link to the casualty list my Uncle Reid Ferguson is listed on.
His name should be on the doughboy statue - or his name corrected if
"Robert Ferguson" list on the statute is my Uncle with his name misspelled.
Anyone know how I can correct this error or omission?
