Wherever Scottish troops have fought the sound of thepipes has been heard, speaking to us of our belovednative land, bringing back to our memories the proud traditionsof our race, and stimulating our spirits to fresh efforts in thecause of freedom. The cry of "The Lament" over our fallenheroes has reminded us of the undying spirit of the Scottish race,and of the sacredness of our cause.
The Pipers of Scotland may well be proud of the part theyhave played in this war. In the heat of battle, by the lonelygrave, and during the long hours of waiting, they have called tous to show ourselves worthy of the land to which we belong.Many have fallen in the fight for liberty, but their memoriesremain. Their fame will inspire others to learn the pipes, andkeep alive their music in the Land of the Gael.
