An interesting article, but it appears to have been mistyped. Point 1 states ‘…the eagle’s head facing to the right and left on the right and left sides respectively of the wearer.’ It should be that the eagle’s head faces right and left, on the LEFT and RIGHT sides respectively of the wearer!

Thanks 54BTY! I have always thought it had to do with the "Check six" phrase. Now I know that's no so and why.

I wonder how many times she was inspected before the parade-you would think all course jackets would have been inspected on return from the tailors for such an error. Regards, Paul.

Yes I believe you are right, a tailor shop error.

This “shoulder Eagles” question is continuously popping up. It seems incredulous that the female is wearing the shoulder title incorrectly. I can only assume that :-
1) she sewed it on herself. 2) who ever inspected her prior to the actual parade, must have been blind! I do not know how to copy and paste, so I’ll include the following post from a year ago. Best regards, D.J.E5EF2A10-9E6F-4743-A6BE-C001BC4A10F6.jpg
