patches Posted September 6, 2017 #152 Posted September 6, 2017 Maj Gen Beverley Powell commander of the 101 in and around 1964-65 with his fancy pipe.
knd643 Posted September 8, 2017 #153 Posted September 8, 2017 From another topic on the forum. Here's a link to it: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/258787-1901-marine-corps-8th-i-recruit-photo/ "Here is another of my prized pieces in my collection, a dated 1901 recruit photo from when recruits were trained at 8th & I in Washington. This dates pre Parris Island, and was on the 100th anniversary of the post. I have included a scan of the info that was written on the back. I recently made a copy of this, and presented it to the SMMC when I was down to visit."
vonmoen Posted September 8, 2017 #154 Posted September 8, 2017 What Kind of a pipe is that? Looks like one of those long curved German ones. -pipe-s.jpg It was, and I used it as my "Field Pipe" when we were on maneuvers.

WW2JAKE Posted May 2, 2018 #160 Posted May 2, 2018 Found this one the other day and never added it. Looks like a 9th Inf Div soldier with possibly a homemade pipe in Vietnam
patches Posted September 26, 2018 #161 Posted September 26, 2018 An 184th Infantry GI wearing the Kiska patch, the 184th Inf originaly of the Califonia National Guard was only attached to the 7th Infantry Div on paper, and as such did not see action with the division on Attu, it did participate in Operation Cottage however. It was assigned officially to the 7th Div in August of 43 and see's action with it for the rest of the Pacific War.
mghcal Posted September 26, 2018 #162 Posted September 26, 2018 I might of missed it but when I think of a pipe smoker I think of General Lemay! Heres a link with some photos of him if anyone else can get them onto the thread I'm having trouble with that. http://josephcrusejohnson.blogspot.com/2012/05/general-lemay.html?m=1 My grandfather also smoked a pipe a few times a week since hed been a kid in Missouri up until he was 82 years old.
patches Posted October 24, 2018 #163 Posted October 24, 2018 One Emmett L Johnson of the 2nd Ranger Company, Korea, an impromptu foto with his pipe. Johnson would stay in the Army, he regrettably was KIA in Vietnam with Co A 4th Bn 9th Inf (Manchu), 25th Inf Div as a S/Sgt, 19 May 1966. On his Virtual Wall page typically has only the 1st Award of the CIB, should be the 2nd.
patches Posted January 30, 2020 #164 Posted January 30, 2020 One Pvt Abel W. Lem, Air Corps in 1941 poses with his pipe, Lem, Chinese American from Oskosh Wisconsin, would get a commission and serve as a supply officer in England and later on the continent, perhaps in the 9th Air Force. Lem had three other brothers, all of which were officers in WWII in the Air Corps, two of them pilots, one of them was posted MIA off the coast of Luzon 6 March 1945 when his Mitchell bomber is either shot down or goes down from other causes, a Bomber pilot, he was David G. Lem, 2nd Lieutenant, 5th Air Force, 499th Bombardment Squadron, 345th Bombardment Group The Air Apaches. He is listed on the Tablets of the Missing at Manila American Cemetery, Manila, Philippines The other two, John L. Lem Air Corps and Transport Plane pilot in the ETO, he gets out of the service sometime in 1947 as a Captain we should think, and Paul A. Lem Air Corps, a Meteorologist in the CBI, he gets out after the war, but then is recalled to duty for Korea, he serves both in the States and in Britain during the war, spent some years in till I think 1956, promoted as a Major in the U.S. Air Force Reserves in 1962, so maybe he reverted to the reserves by the late 50s early 60s Abel Lem himself would remain in the Army after the war and segue into the new U.S. Air Force, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel, sometime in the 60s we would think, regrettably no more info on service. He passes in Los Angeles in 1997 at 85.
patches Posted February 20, 2020 #166 Posted February 20, 2020 A W/O with his pipe in 1944, the name found with this one is John Oden Luttrell, Jr. great photo but a curious one, a John Oden Luttrell, Jr. shows up as having Died in Service in 1946, but this John Oden Luttrell, Jr. was in the Merchant Marines, in it's Academy not an Army Warrant Officer. His grave, note the MMA uniform. but 47th Engineers (Which n WWII was a Construction Battalion) and the Army Amphibious Forces patches on the tombstone, we can only guess he started out in the MM, went into the army as W/O and gained a commission, Lieutenant being either a 2nd or 1st Lieutenant., and perhaps in error this insignia were put on??? cause I'm not seeing where the 47th Eng Const Bn which was in the Pacific was in an engineer special brigade https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/84471332/john-oden-luttrell
The Rooster Posted February 20, 2020 #167 Posted February 20, 2020 Heres a photo taken by my Grandpa at AEF headquarters during WW1. My Grandpa was a clerk at AEF Headquarters and he had a Brownie Camera. One of his associates smoking a pipe.

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. . vast amounts of US surplus were left in Europe at the end of WWII, these items, pouch, pipe and cleaners are all from unissued cartons that I had when I ran my Militaria store . . . . . regards lewis. .
