Oh, him. Without this astute observation, how easy it would have been to assume that he was smoking a cigarette.

Could it be that the tobacco companies have behind the suppression of information about early harmonica playing in the US, preferring to have people belief that soldiers were sucking down addictive poison instead of making sweet music?

If you take a close look at the following picture, you can clearly see one of
the soldiers playing a Hohner Little Lady. He lies in the front row in the
middle of the picture. Probably lefthanded, that guy.
