Default Canadian pipers in Paris (11 Nov 44) ...

Antony Beevor and Artemis Cooper in their book, "Paris after the liberation 1944-1949", write that a band of kilted Canadian pipers played at the Armistice Day parade in Paris on 11 November 1944. It was at this parade that Churchill and de Gaulle laid wreaths on the grave of the unknown soldier at the Arc de Triomphe.

Does anyone know which band this was?

Comments appreciated ...

Mike
