Pipers of The Trenches

[David]

I watched a programme on BBC2 last night called Pipers of the trenches. A facinating programme about the pipers of WW1, their role, exploits and awards. Some techy guys have even tested the effect of the pipes on human resilience and determination. The differences between the pipes and the control noise is statistically significant. There were some facinating stories told and brought up to date with the contributions from decendents of 3 or 4 featured pipers. Its on BBCi player for the next 6 days, which I know will be a pain for the overseas viewers, but it would be worth looking out for in the future in case it appears on other interweb media, especially if you are Canadien.
