SergeantMajorGray Posted February 6, 2015 Share #1 Posted February 6, 2015 Pipe collecting/smoking is one of my new hobbies since I'm basically out of space for militaria. I of course have to connect both hobbies post any images you can find of pipes being used in the military. I'll start it of with the probably most famous one.

WW2JAKE Posted February 7, 2015 Share #15 Posted February 7, 2015 my grandfather started smoking when he joined the army in 48 and didnt stop till the day he died. sure had a collection of amazing lighters he got while stationed over seas plus 4 pipes he had when overseas. when he passed away I saved the pipes, lighters, and a really old tobacco tin (with the tobacco) very cool tread wish I had a picture of him using one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man kills a cigarette in about 15 seconds. I got the pipe as kind of a joke for when we go out to the smoke pit, and kind of liked it, so...coupled with my addictive personality...yeah...

pararaftanr2 Posted May 9, 2015 Share #21 Posted May 9, 2015 The "unknown American soldier" in post #5 is actually Boyd D. "Buzz" Wagner, the first USAAF ace of WW2. He had five kills over the Philippines in December of 1941 before being evacuated to Australia in January 1942. Regards, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyer9314 Posted May 9, 2015 Share #24 Posted May 9, 2015 This is a photo of my grandfather "training" in California in 1943. I have a series of photos with him and his pipe. I've thought about buying a pipe to smoke in his memory but I haven't found one that looks similar to his pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uniformcollector Posted May 9, 2015 Share #25 Posted May 9, 2015 Not pipe related, but since it has to do with veterans and there tobacco, I figured you might find it interesting. Medal of Honor recipient Joe Foss' snuff box: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
