As this website started out with only some raw data and old photos of Richard's Grandad, David Morrison, there is a strong leaning towards the Pipes and Drums.

Above is a collection of photos taken 'in the 1940s' and below, a list of Pipers and Drummers that we are compiling, slowly but surely. *Click on the arrows to scroll through.

If your relative served with the Pipe Band, or indeed with 1st KOSB, please do get in touch and help us build up the collection for future generations to remember them by.
