paperback. Condition: Very Good. Naval and Military Press [Published Date: No date listed]. Soft cover, 291 pp. Reprint edition. In very good condition. Glossy blue illustrated paper covers have light bumping to edges and light overall scuffing. Binding tight. Pages clean and unmarked. Black and white illustrations. [From publis…her] The sound of the pipes is something that stirs the hearts of all Scotsmen and pipers of Scottish regiments are at the heart of regimental traditions; the sound of the drums and pipes approaching in the distance can raise the hairs on the back of the neck. There are many occasions of Scottish troops being piped into battle and the casualty lists as well as lists of gallantry awards feature not a few pipers, including two VCs. The original BEF landed in France with seven Scottish battalions possessing pipe bands and, by the end of the war, the number of such units exceeded a hundred. And of course there were pipers from the Dominions, especially Canada which had several Scottish regiments, a piper of the 16th Canadian Scottish Battalion was one of the VCs. This account looks at the part played by pipers in all the theatres of war and describes many individual actions, most leading to gallantry awards. The detail in this remarkable piece of research includes the nominal roll of pipers by regiments and battalions, noting any casualties, and though the list does not claim to be definitive it is nonetheless an extremely impressive one. There is also a roll of honour, again by regiments and battalions. There are sections on pipe tunes, Irish pipes, tuition of young regimental pipers, a fine piece on the music of battle by the famous war correspondent, Philip Gibbs and much more besides.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the rich history and powerful impact of the bagpipes in warfare, specifically focusing on their role during the First World War. The author traces the instrument's evolution from its ancient origins in the Middle East to its adoption by Scottish Highland and Lowla…nd regiments, highlighting its enduring connection to military tradition and national identity. Through vivid firsthand accounts and historical analysis, the book explores how the skirl of the pipes served as a potent motivator on the battlefield, instilling courage and rallying troops even in the face of unimaginable hardship. The bravery and sacrifice of countless pipers, who played their comrades into action despite the dangers, are vividly brought to life. This book offers a compelling testament to the enduring power of music and tradition in shaping human experience, particularly in the crucible of war. It reveals how the unique sound of the bagpipes served not only as a martial instrument but also as a powerful symbol of cultural heritage and national pride, leaving an indelible mark on the history of warfare. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
