What about a query to The Imperial War Museum, or to a Canadian regiment, such as the RHR of Canada or the 48th Highlanders?

Your ideas are great--I am especially interested in following up your suggestion about the Imperial War Museum. Even if they don't have copies of musical scores, they are probably the most likely to have archival recordings of pipes and drums from the era, possibly even sound film. They are next on my list. Thanks for that! Regards, BYU

Answer Found!
The kind folks over at BobDunsire had the answer, as follows:
"A good source would be the Army Manuals(British) published during the 1930s. There are two books of tunes, the generally easy old ever-green tunes. Each book has a selection of "generic" drum settings in a variety of time signatures that can be used with damn near anything. You might check out the SCOT PRESS in West Va to find a copy of the manuals. The manuals were developed when it was realized that no two battalions were inclined to play the same tune arrangement. A couple of PBs playing in concert often turned in to a cacaphonous(sp) fiasco."
The Army Manual of Bagpipe Tunes, Book 1 & Book 2 mentioned by the kind poster can be purchased as downloadable PDFs at ScotPress's website here: http://scotpress.com/catalog/scottis...-book-1-p-1363
Viola! Thanks for your help, everyone! Regards, BYU
