smoke-puffs - definition and meaning

[Markekohut]

Well, seems clear to me that many/ most are all also the same kind of flickering smoke from military discharges....see esp My Early Life...shrapnel, etc...

I think your logical concern that there are all kind of different insignia coupled with the impossibility of them all flickering, to me rules  out that meaning.

So, I'll stop.
