My great great Uncle, Alexander MacDonald was a piper in the Battle of Loos as well. They got the order to charge and his piper mate was killed. Alexander kept playing but was shot in the leg. He was evacuated back to Scotland where here died 3 weeks later from peritonitis. I have seen his war medal in the Black Watch war museum in Perth. Maurice Chisnall (NZ)
