It was given to all of the troops as they sat in the ships going over. It amazes me that Grampie was one of the four members of the 14 man pipe band to survive the landing on Juno Beach. Then he missed being captured at the Abbey Ardenne and testified at Kurt Meyer's war trial. To top it all off, his pipes still sound great every time Mum plays them. It really was quite something to be standing by the graves of his fellow NNS Highlanders in Holland, knowing he played for them when they were finally buried.HJSLTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37441113.post-65035051348177635082009-06-08T20:00:47.362-04:002009-06-08T20:00:47.362-04:00Thanks for that, Walt, I never read it.
