LER Piper

[Taskr]

This fine gentleman, MWO of the Loyal Edmonton Regiment, played for an Official Portrait unveiling ceremony. He graciously gave permission I post his pic for the rabble to have a look see at the replica uniform his Regiment utilizes for their pipers.

This uniform is very interesting to me because it shows a modern version of the old Service Dress tunic which was introduced to the Scottish regiments in 1908 IIRC and was worn AFAIK up until around the time of the Coronation (1953).

This is, as best as I can recall, the first post-Coronation photo I've seen of that tunic.

Here's the most recent photo I think I have showing that tunic, in 1947

Fine looking uniformed piper(s). You'd think those pipers could win the battle all by themselves without anyone firing a shot!
