Eagle, common name for a number of diurnal birds of prey, some of which are the largest members of their family which also includes kites, hawks, buzzards, and certain vultures.

“unexplained”; unexplained to the commanders and to the soldiers (9). No one understands the glory of war, which adds to the irony that it could exist at all. another symbol of glory is the “crest of yellow and gold” which was the roman standard, Aquila (17).
