"I just played whatever came in to my head, but I was worried about tripping on the uneven ground, which interrupted my playing. The enemy fire was murderous, the men were falling all around me. I was lucky to survive. Hearing the pipes gave the troops courage."
-Piper Harry Lunan, 1st/5th Battalion Gordon Highlanders (51st Division)
