LOL, Phil.

In Winston Groom's Book on the Ypres salient "A Storm in Flanders" the author wrote that when they heard bagpipes German troops would retreat from the advanced lines of defense because they knew a unit of the Black Watch was coming thru and that the Scots would kill everything in sight and wouldn't back off but now I'm thinking it was the pipes that made them run.
