My Caubeen Arrived From Ireland!

[Jock Scot]

That didn't sound right. In the British Army the badge is supposed to be worn over the left eye and beret pulled down to the right, though there does seem to be "fashion" variations. As tank crew I wore mine central with beret pulled down both sides to accomodate headphones. Anyway, I googled Irish Guards piper and looked at the images and you are right. however I see in the pictures posted, it is only the guards who wear it that way.

Without trying to be pedantic and to avoid future misunderstandings by those who do not understand the quirks of British Army uniforms, I think we need to be clear here. It is the Pipers of the Irish Guards who wear the caubeen with their Regimental badge over the right eye. Not The Guards as a whole. When The Guards wear their berets(including the Irish Guards) with their respective Regimental badges they are over their left eye.------------Although I note that these days the cap badge is now creeping, a wee tad, back towards the left ear!
