Scotland The Brave - War Memorial In France
I had the absolute honour to play 'Scotland The Brave' at the Pipers Memorial in the village of Longueval, France a couple of years ago. It is dedicated to all pipers who fell during the Great War. Many continued to play despite wounds and always with a disregard for the storm of shells and bullets falling about them.
We learned the story of the brave Scottish Piper James Richardson VC who played his 16th Battalion Canadian Infantry into action at Mouquet Farm on 8th October 1916. Later that evening after helping to bring in wounded he was killed trying to retrieve his pipes. I played this wee tune in honour of James and all the musicians of the Great War.

A truly nightmarish world greeted the New Zealand Division when it joined the Battle of the Somme in mid-September 1916. It was New Zealand’s first major engagement on the Western Front and took a huge toll on the 15,000 members of the New Zealand Division who were involved
The Division sustained approximately 8000 casualties, including more than 2,000 who lost their lives. The New Zealand Memorial to the Missing in Caterpillar Valley Cemetery lists 1,204 names.

Delville Wood 100th Anniversary Commemorative Service
The 100th Anniversary Service of the Battle of Delville Wood held at the Flame of Remembrance in Kings Park, Perth, Western Australia.
Delville Wood in the Somme is the most famous WW1 battle ever fought by Southern Africa. Through this action other nations learnt to respect the fighting qualities of the brave men from the then fledgling Union of South Africa and of Southern Rhodesia.
SAMVOA WA is deeply grateful for the privilege to also honour the memory of our countrymen, the Immortal Dead of South Africa and Rhodesia, who, at the call of Duty, made the supreme Sacrifice on the battlefields of Africa, Asia and Europe, in the air and on the sea.
LEST WE FORGET.
