Caryl, as you can imagine I have had very many suggestions about the pouch. If you saw it I'm sure you would accept it was not for cigarettes, it is much too narrow and even after almost 70 years I would have expected an aroma. It is just less than 1/4" thick.
You can discern a slight indentation on the back approx 2 1/4" in diameter, as if it once contained something circular.
I am awaiting a reply from the Imperial War Museum here in the UK, having asked them if it is recognised by anyone there.
Colin.
