| Summary | "The Pipes of War" by Sir B. G. Seton and John Grant is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the significant contributions of pipers from Scottish and Overseas Regiments during World War I, highlighting their roles on the battlefield and the emotional impact of their music. It not only celebrates individual bravery but also emphasizes the cultural importance of bagpipe music in Scottish military tradition. At the start of "The Pipes of War," the authors set the stage by acknowledging the deep connection between Scottish pipers and the spirit of their troops. They reflect on how the sound of the pipes served to invigorate soldiers in combat, maintain national sentiment, and honor the memory of fallen comrades. The opening discusses the historical role of pipers, explaining the challenges they faced in modern warfare while documenting the emotional and morale-boosting effects of their music, as well as the high casualties among these musicians, underscoring the importance of preserving piping traditions for future generations.
