a casualty after it was raised, although often playing under heavy
shell fire. They played and warmed the hearts of all true Scots, and
must have given the wily Turk quite a shock with "Hey Johnnie Cope,"
which could be heard quite distinctly on a quiet morning in the
firing-line, right up till within a few days of the final evacuation
of the peninsula.
After sojourning for a month on the Island of Mudros, they sailed
with the rest of the Division for Egypt. From Abbassia (Cairo) they
moved to the desert front, and have been with the Division in the
trek across Sinai.
From El Arish the band accompanied the Division right into Palestine,
and is believed to be the first pipe band to play in the "Holy Land."
PRISONERS OF WAR BAND
One of the most remarkable of military pipe bands was one organised
in the British prisoners' internment camps in Holland. At one time
this band consisted of 13 pipers of different units, including two
pipe majors, under Pipe Major Duff, 2nd Royal Scots.
OVERSEAS BATTALIONS
PRINCESS PATRICIA'S CANADIAN LIGHT INFANTRY
The pipers were mainly employed as bearers.
In the attack on the Vimy Ridge on 9th April, 1917, the battalion was
played over by the nine pipers.
Pipers were also employed as runners.

THE CANADIAN SCOTTISH
16TH BATTALION
At Ypres (April 1915) two pipers, Jas. Thomson and W. M'Ivor, were
killed while playing the charge; and at Festubert in May, G. Birnie
and A. Morrison were killed in the same way. Some of the pipers were
employed as bearers, runners, etc., but, the casualties continuing,
it was found necessary for a time to withdraw them from the firing
line. During the Somme fighting, however, they were again used as
pipers. In the attack of 8th October, 1916, Pipers Richardson, Park,
Paul and M'Kellar played through very heavy fire for over half a
mile, and Richardson and Park were killed. Piper Richardson was
awarded the V.C. posthumously. On another occasion, in the attack
on the Quirique Rue position, Pipers Birnie and Morrison stood on a
ruined farmhouse and played until they were both killed.
In the attack on the Vimy Ridge on 9th April, 1917, the battalion was
again led to their objective by the Pipe Major, Groat and five pipers
for a distance of over a mile; Pipe Major Groat got the Military
Medal.
For bravery at Paschendaele, Aug. 1917, Lance-Cpl. M'Gillivray--who
was killed--got the Military Medal, and Piper Paul received the same
distinction.
The C.O. regards the pipes as invaluable in action. Of the pipers one
got the V.C., one the D.C.M. and nine the Military Medal. No man was
recommended for a distinction unless he had twice played his company
to an attack.

THE SOUTH AFRICAN SCOTTISH
The pipers proved quite invaluable on the long marches in the

The pipers were sometimes employed as bearers, or as carriers of

In the Cambrai advance by the Germans they had to serve in the ranks.
At Houdincourt, having piled their pipes and taken up rifles, nearly
all their instruments were destroyed by a shell.
