The Story of the Bagpipe by William Grattan Flood
The Story of the Bagpipe by William Grattan Flood. Most people think of the bagpipe as an instrument solely connected to Scotland. W.H. Grattan Flood takes us much further back, to the ancient origin of the pipe. From the simple reed blown by the mouth, through Egypt Greece, and Rome, past the Tudors and Stuarts, right up to the French court of Louis the XIV and into the Nineteenth century, we see how the bagpipes have been an integral part of our musical history. This is Volume 13 in a series of 15 books.

Italy 2023 | Edmonton Police Service Pipes & Drums | Canada
The 80th Anniversary Italian Campaign Commemorative Tour The Pipes and Drums Italy 2023 journey began in the present-day peaceful town of Ortona. Located on the Adriatic coast, the beauty of Ortona stands in stark contrast to its past. As the band walked through its streets, it was hard to imagine that this town was once the scene of one of the fiercest battles of the Italian Campaign. In December 1943, Ortona was a crucial objective for the Allies, particularly the Canadians and the British, as they fought against the German forces. The battle was part of a larger campaign to push the German army northwards from Italy. In the heart of Ortona, the band explored areas where the Loyal Edmonton Regiment and the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada engaged in brutal urban combat. The “Mouse-Holing” technique, where soldiers broke through walls to advance from house to house, was extensively used here.
