Compiled by Jeannie Campbell, this publication is part of a Heritage Lottery Fund–supported project by The Scottish Pipe Band Association, exploring the remarkable stories of pipers who served during the First World War.
 
Through extensive research and firsthand accounts, the book brings to life the experiences of over 2,500 pipers who played on the front lines — inspiring troops in battle, lifting spirits during marches, and honouring the fallen. It also documents the music they created amidst the chaos of war, including tunes such as Festubert, Delville Wood, The Battle of Arras, and The Seaforth Highlanders March to the Battle of Loos.
 
A powerful tribute to the courage, sacrifice, and musical legacy of wartime pipers, this book offers both historical insight and a deep appreciation for the enduring spirit of pipe music.
