@MrFooknuts I don't know if your friend died in vain; I hope he died trying to help his fellow soldiers or some civilian who needed help. If he died thinking he was fighting for some just or noble cause, he did did in vain-like so many millions before him going back at least to WW1.
I hope he rests in peace.

Thank you.

Did they sound the Death March as they lowered you down? Did the band play the last post and chorus? Did the Pipes play the Flowers of the Forest?

My teacher was part of the Scots Guard when he was seventeen. That was about 60 years ago. One day he asked us to play a tune. I played this one and he was quiet when I finished. He said you never played that one unless you were ordered to as part of your duty. He said as a young man he was locked up in the cold for a night for playing it one evening. Among the pipers it was kind of sacred and was only played for your fallen friends. None of us knew that at the time. Memories run long and deep.
