History:
During the first World War, millions of US men and women served in the war. With conflicts happening in multiple countries, it was extremely difficult for the people fighting at the front lines. In 1917, a group of women were sent to the front lines in France by the Salvation Army. This was done with the intention of boosting the morale of the soldiers. They set up makeshift huts where the soldiers could stock up their necessities and get small breaks during fighting. During this time, these women started distributing a baked sweet among the soldiers. These donuts were baked inside the helmets of the soldiers and were known as doughboys. Later, donuts became a favourite dish of millions all across the world.
