At 10 am today, The Piper to the Sovereign, Pipe Major Richard Grisdale along with Pipers across Scotland, played in memory of the Heroes of St Valéry.

These soldiers remained in France following the successful mass evacuations at Dunkirk at the beginning of June 1940.

The majority of the troops who remained in France were from the 51st Highland Division. They fought almost continuously for ten days before being surrounded by German forces at Saint-Valery-sur-Somme.

Those who were not killed in the fierce fighting either died trying to escape, or were captured and sent to POW camps in Eastern Europe to endure appalling conditions.

The pipers’ march was played today in memory of these men.
