Light Horse and pipers
Last night I watched the movie Gallipoli on TCM, I hadn't seen since it first came out, and it was like watching a new release.
Anyway, in one scene the Australian Light Horse marches through the port of embarkation to board a ship bound to war. The mounted column is lead by a pipe band. The band isn't on screen long, and it was hard to make out the details, but they were wearing khaki tams or balmorals with what appeared to be sky blue plums, much as the Black Watch wears red ones.
Anyone have any idea if the pipe band in the movie represents an authentic Australian military organization of 1915? If so, what was it?
