Would this decision still hold any legitimacy in modern British law, even though it would never have any real chance of being enacted/enforced?
Further side question- pipers, although typically unarmed when piping, would still not qualify as noncombatants, like chaplins and medics?
I would guess that a uniformed piper marching across no man's land with the other troops would be viewed and treated like any other enemy combatant by the German lines. He'd still be a part of the attack.
