Such a fitting lament to him and all who paid the ultimate price. Thank you Pipe Major and Belgium for remembering and honouring such men. Yes I shed a tear as well listening.

My family are from Scotland, my great grandfather Pipe Major Murdo McDonald Royal Scott’s, died on the Somme, aged 54! My mothers uncle was killed in The Royal Navy aged 21. My grandfather arrived in France 1914 with the Cameronians, the British army in 1914 had 90% casualties that year, he was an expert sniper, one day an enemy sniper fired through the loop hole he was behind, the bullet ripped his shirt and burned his skin. He won the MC for his work in France, and made it through the war. After that he did not shoot again, lived quietly with his wife and children and took up fly fishing. On Remembrance Day he never attended a service, he went out to the countryside and looked upon the waters of a loch. My children are grown up now, I intend to take them to Scotland this year to see the land of their ancestors.

That’s why I attend Remembrance Sunday, i remember when I saw Woody.EXE playing this. I remember my dad saying “How did he get here?!” My favourite crowd looks at Woody.EXE as he pays tribute to the war. Then he joined me and dad for the service. Even the cadets were stunned to see him there and then I told Woody.EXE “you didn’t have to do that?!” He replied “I just did, on your behalf since you’re still mourning the Queen” I’ll never forget that, I’d say that Woody.EXE is a great monarch for Wales and everyone loves him

This lament was written in 1513 mourning the Scottish defeat at the Battle of Flodden Field. King James IV of Scotland and the "flowers" of Scottish nobility, along with 10,000 and 17,000 Scots, were killed in the battle. It modern use couldn't be more appropriate.

My grand-grand father and uncles fought in the trenches. They fought, survived and won the war. I am a Fleming. They couldn't speak about it and were traumatized. My grand grand uncle designed a crown for the Maria statue in the cathedral of Antwerp to thank God he had survived that hell. He was there when I was born. My grand grand father was already dead. Some family members were to tall for the trenches and were shot. My grand grand father and his brother knew all the hiding places and were very carefull soldiers, no shouting Sergeant types but sensitive people.

Another sad time in Scotlands dark past, ask anyone which Scottish hero when captured, was hung drawn and quartered the most likely answer will be William Wallace few people will say the Rev. Richard Cameron of Falkland in Fife, his followers the Covenanters went on to become known as Cameronians. The Cameronians regt. were the only regiment allowed to carry their arms into the church as a nod to their original role of defending covenanters as they worshipped out of site of the Catholic authorities.
