One night many, many years ago while outside at band practice an old vet who had been in the army came across the street and said 'Here is something for you to keep'. I am a piper and it was at the Legion where we have band pracice, it was nice summers evening and we were outside with our instruments.
He then told me the story about what he had given me. It was a silver furrel off the the blow pipe of the Regimental Pipemajor of the Calgary Highlanders bagpipes. What made it so interesting was that it was all they found and recognized of the bagpipes after the 15CWT the bagpipes were on was blown up by enemy fire.
I wonder if that truck is on that list? The silver furrel is one of my treasures.
