Is this a phony picture? In my day, chevrons and ratings went onto the left sleeve exclusively, not on the right as shown here on one of the ‘sailors.’
“Is this a phony picture?”
You know, I knew something was off about the picture (besides the VERY obvious!). I’ve sewn on a few rating patches ...on my left sleeve...during my time in Uncle Sam’s Canoe Club. But memories fade, so I didn’t pick up on the wrong placement.
Good eye, sir!
