1st KOSB Pipes & Drums in 1940s
UNDER CONSTRUCTION

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. However, many of the photos we came across of the pipe band were outside of  the Normandy battle so don't fall exactly within the remit of the site. But, as there is such a strong affiliation between the skirl of the pipes, and the pride of the Borderers, we're not going let that stop us including photos taken before and after D-Day! 

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.
