Pipes Of War. A Record Of The Achievements Of Pipers Of Scottish And Overseas Regiments During The War 1914-18
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. This is a very unusual, if not unique book and a fascinating one .
