As they fight ashore, in their midst a man wearing the Cameron kilt his father wore in World War 1 calmly marches back and forth along the sand playing the bagpipes.

There are videos and a lot of links in the article, so please take a moment to go and read the entire post.  Fascinating story.  I think you will be glad you did, especially you former and current military types.
