Scotland The Brave but you’re attacking the Germans at the Somme (improved)

Pipers accompanying the Scots going over the top on the 1st day of the Somme. What great heroic and utterly futile gallantry.

[@GMHD777]

I bet you it didnt feel futile to the lads to the right and left of you. Probably exactly what you need before you lay down your life for freedom and choice without having that right yourself. Scotland the brave!

[@cpurssey982]

Not futile at all. It inspires, look at piper Laidlaw VC at the Battle of Loos. His pipes gave the men the courage to attack despite gas, MGs and arty.

My great grandfather was a Pipe Major in The Scots Guards, I have his obituary, he fought in Sudan, in The Boer War, and he lost his life on The Somme aged 54, he also had instructed The Royal Family in Scottish Dancing. Two of his sons were pipers as was my my maternal grandfather. My Paternal grandfather served in The Cameronians. This is not unusual for people of Scottish ancestry. My wife is a Scottish Canadian, we live near London now but I love the pipes. I have a son called Hamish, History lives in all of us. I would like to say I have no enmity against the Germans.
