My Little Notes: Well it seems that cigarettes in 1945 are a hot commodity! He was sure relieved to see his Dad got the cigarettes. It was sweet he remembered his brother's birthday and sent money to give him a gift. Tommy's (my Dad) birthday was May 22 and he would be 14 in 1945. Also, great to hear he heard from many of his friends Al, Ward and Ray. And quite impressive he is in charge of all the radar men too.
Link to an excerpt for a comedy short called "What, No Cigarettes?" (1945) Pretty funny!
Link to the song, "A Story of Two Cigarettes" Vaughn Monroe & his Orchestra (1945) Sweet nostalgic song and old photos of the era. Beautiful song and vintage photos of the day.
Click on this link for an article called "Smoke em if you got em", about WWII and Americans love of cigarettes
