The Rooster Posted June 19, 2021 Share #9 Posted June 19, 2021 That is cool ! The only thing I ever found similar was in the upper left pocket of a WW2 Marine corps Pilots dress tunic, I found about a quarter of that pocket filled with lose tobacco ! And a button that was missing from the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CW4AFB Posted July 5, 2021 Share #13 Posted July 5, 2021 These are all cigar wrappers I have found in pockets of US Third Army units---looks like the guys on occupation duty in Germany had a little more time on their hands than they did while in France and could enjoy a good smoke.
