Today is the final Friday of the month, the day of the Hobart Marine Corps League “Howlin' Mad Detachment Number 93” Doughboy ceremony – where the names of fallen soldiers for the month are read out loud – and for the first time in three-and-a-half-years, there are no names to read – they will still have an opening prayer- followed by a small announcement- and a volley of 3 rounds with the playing of taps and closing prayer. The public as always is invited to the service which starts at 5pm at the Hobart Doughboy statue, at 7^th and Main.   Doughboy was a term used to describe U-S infantrymen of the American Expeditionary Force during World War One.
