Cultural references
The title of Wilfred Owen's bitter anti-war poem "Smile, Smile, Smile" (September 1918) was derived from the song.[4]
In the 1932 comedy movie High Pressure, William Powell ends his "dynamic personality classes" by leading the salesmen in singing this song to pump up the product and stock (even though there is yet no product!)[5]
The song was recalled in the title of the 1932 Laurel and Hardy film Pack Up Your Troubles where the duo are drafted and make a friend who dies during the war, then in its aftermath try to reunite his orphaned baby daughter with her surviving family.[6]
Clark Gable sings a line from the chorus in the 1936 Gable-Jean Harlow film Wife vs. Secretary.
The song was also used in the 1938 film The Shopworn Angel. Margaret Sullavan, who plays Broadway singer Daisy Heath, performs the song in a special concert for World War I troops about to be shipped overseas. The song is also sung in the film's finale when Daisy is performing the number and learns that her soldier-husband, Bill Pettigrew (played by Jimmy Stewart), has been killed in action.
The song features prominently in the second assignment of Sapphire & Steel, whistled by the ghost of a dead soldier.
In Hergé's Tintin in Tibet, Captain Haddock sings "Pack up you troubles in your old kitbag and...."
The name of the 2003 Richard Thompson album The Old Kit Bag hints at the song title but the album makes no explicit reference. When asked if the album had a theme, he had no immediate answer, then said "I suppose the title is a theme of sorts. It's a reference to the old World War I song, 'Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag,' which is about smiling and whistling a happy tune as the Germans rain shells down on you."[7]
This song has been reprised by Minnutes in their 2009 album Pretty Baby, and was featured as the opening song for the season one finale episode of Castle.
The song was played in the annual TV special It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Snoopy (dressed in his World War I flying ace regalia) dances to this song played by Schroeder on his toy piano in a left-right-left marching pace while twirling his baton.
The song is featured in the beginning of the film, Darling Lili, sung by Julie Andrews.
In one of the scenes of "Cats Don't Dance", during the flood scene, when Tillie Hippo sees L.B. Mammoth showing up, she sings the first part of the song.
A version of the song is sung by Chuckie Finster in a musical episode of Rugrats.[8]
A few lines of the chorus sung by Lloyd Wade are used in Eliza Doolittle's song "Pack Up" (2010).[9]
The song is also referenced as the origin for Kit Kittredge's nickname in "Meet Kit" from the American Girl series. The book was written by Valerie Tripp and published in 2001. It is also referenced in the movie Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008).

I posted the Slade song because of this information...

"Speaking of Rod Stewart, a couple of tunes do resemble Rod Stewart at times. 'Pack Up Your Troubles', for instance: just the kind of uplifting, cheerful acoustic melody that Rod was rather fond of."
