This showed Mauldin's WorldWarII soldier Willie sticking a rifle-sized pen into the ground while Steve, in flight suit, set a pilot's helmet atop the pen. (The rest of the tribute was the signatures of twenty or thirty other cartoonists.)

A character falls in battle, and is buried by his comrades (or his enemies, if they consider him [[WorthyOpponent worthy]]). But for whatever reason, the grave isn't marked with a traditional tombstone, but rather with the slain character's weapon. Maybe circumstances didn't allow a regular marker, maybe it's just traditional (for the slain or the ones burying him), or maybe someone thought it would just be a poignant gesture..
Can be done with any type of weapon, although something with a blade will obviously be easier to stick into the ground. Regardless, almost always done in a way that the weapon is oriented vertically, rather than just laying on top of the grave.
This has been done sometimes in RealLife, with the most iconic modern example being a rifle with the boots placed near it and the helmet on top, but usually only as a temporary measure to serve as a grave marker for soldiers that were killed in the field and had to be buried close to the front lines; permanent headstones were brought in later, or the bodies moved, so the weapons wouldn't be wasted. Fictional characters often seem less concerned about losing weapons to permanent graves, for [[RuleOfCool some reason]].
