My Great grandfather was a pipe major in ww1 and was shot and left to die but was saved by a young soldier who was killed pulling my great grandfather back into the trench. I am named after that young soldier.▌♥▐

my Papa Tammy Turnbll from Hawick was a piper in the KOSB during WWI at Gallipolli, Somme and Paschendale. Known as "The Devils In Skirts" by the enemy because they were terrified of them! Quite right too!! My other papa was in the Royal Horse Artillary at the Somme too, this song makes me think of them and how lucky they were to come home relitavely unscathed. Love this..thanks Alan x

The Scots are the only soldiers who call for the "Pipers to the front". The pipers have always led the way.
