Yes, I think it was out of fashion by World War One, certainly by the 1920s.

I will say that even now one does sometimes see a piper or drummer wearing a medal or two they won in the morning later the same day as a conversation piece for chatting and toasting with friends.

They remove it for Pipe Band competition that afternoon.

(The general rule is solo piping and drumming contests in the morning, a lunchtime break, then Pipe Band contests in the afternoon, oftentimes with many of the same pipers and drummers participating in both.)
