Rifles of "The Great War

My Grandfather was a Doughboy. Fought in the Great War was gassed and survived until 1953 (or I wouldn't be here)

It clearly look like he had a 1917 Enfield while at was probably Camp Pike Arkansas.

This is a statue dedicated to those men in Basin Park, in Eureka Springs Arkansas.

Looks like the artist used an SMLE for the statute.
