Reference to Hawkeye's mother
Nancy Temple
scene in post op where a GI is holding a cat and won't let it go.
Fr. Mulcahy: He's not hurting the cat, he just won't let it go.
Hawkeye: My mother had the same problem with me at the induction center.
I had never noticed Hawkeye's reference to his mother before in that scene.
This was obviously an earlier episode (Henry & Trapper were in it). It
wasn't until much later in the series, in a scene with Winchester, where he
says that his mother died when he was a child.

Hawkeye's Mom. My explanation, as posted in "...Bothered, and
Bewilderded" :
As told to Charles, Hawkeye lost his mother when he was young. As told
to Radar, Dan Pierce met a woman he liked, but Hawkeye was bitter. Since
Hawkeye was trying to bring a point home to Radar about accepting his
mom Edna's new beau, his story left out his eventual acceptance of his
new stepmother and her daughter by a previous marriage. Sometime in 51',
Hawkeye recieved the news of his stepmother's death. Moreover, his
still-underage stepsister went back to live with her father, a man who
neither liked nor approved of Dan. Hence, Hawkeye lost touch with her.
This is a chain-breaking address. If a fwd is sent that is not an
original work of fiction by yourself, or a close friend, etc., it will
be discarded. Any bad luck or disaster will then fall on the sender.
This is fair warning.

Actually, wasn't there a very early episode where Hawkeye is writing home to
his father and he says something like "love to mom" at the very end of the
letter?
Glenn
says something to the effect that his father is probably wandering around that
empty house thinking that his son is dead. If she's not dead, then I assume that
they must be divorced.
Just my two cents. (keep the change)

I'm thinking of an episode way before that one - all the way back to the first
season. I know there are a number of later references to the fact that
Hawkeye's father is alone, but I'm thinking back to first season.....

because his mother has a boyfriend, he asks Hawkeye for advice and Hawkeye says
that his father was a widower and that he was in love with a librarian or
somthing and because Hawkeye didn't accept her, his father didn't get married
and is alone to this day. It was a cute scene because Radar then said that
maybe his mother and Hawkeye's father could get married if his mother's
boyfriend didn't work out.

Chill buddy, I have the answer you seek. The episode from season 1 is
Dear Dad...Again written by Larry Gelbart and Sheldon Keller, directed
by Jackie Cooper. It's the one with Capt. Casey and ends with the
Swinging Surgeons show. At the end Hawk ends his letter to dad with,
"kiss mom and sis." Yes it's true, he refered to his mother.

He's also referring to his sister, but, in a later episode, he tells someone he
is an only child.

Is it "Dear Dad Again"? Granted I can't remember which Dear Dad or Mail
Call title goes with which episode, but I thought this was the Christmas
"Dear Dad" which was (if I'm not wrong) "Dear Dad [One]".

He does say "kiss mom and sis" in Dear Dad Again but now that you
mention it he may refer to mom in the first Dear Dad as well. Will have
to check. He also referrs to his "parents" in the pilot.

Instantly, I was thinking, HUH! I thought his mother died when he was young?!
Not sure at what point, they killed her off...
She was referenced many times.
I'm just wondering, did they for get🙃

The constant reference to Godzilla which was not created till 1954 a year AFTER the end of the war. The mentioning of the Blob (1958) radar's impersonation of John Wayne in McLintock(1963)
Let not forget Hawkeye's sister with her 10 magic fingers which knitted him a sweater. Not only was his mother dead, but we are also told he was an only child.
Blake's wife name changing from Mildred to Louise.
Hot lips father coming back to life.
No idea how this series won so many awards for writing.
Iggy Ren
episode?

The continuity in the series is some of the worst ever of any TV show.

Howitzer Al was his nickname. Do not know when the writers gave him that nickname. Maybe after he came back to life.
