Regarding Panhandle Boys of the World War. Markers Erected to World War Veterans. Since 1928 the chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution have erected four large granite monuments to World War veterans. The Llano Estacado Chapter of Amarillo erected the first World War monument in 1928, and dedicated it as a tribute " to all men of the Texas Panhandle who served in the World War." It is an impressive twelve-ton boulder with a life-size figure of a World War doughboy standing upon it.
