Wow that might have caused some confusion if they got involved in the Falklands War!

Keep it under you hat but they did on the QT. Chile helped the UK, which is why Margaret Thatcher didn't want Pinochet arrested.

"In her letter, Baroness Thatcher wrote: 'By his actions the [Falklands] war was shortened and many British lives were saved.'"

The band wears the Cochrane tartan, in honour of Lord Cochrane.

Thanks, Mr. T!

[hospitaller]

there are a couple 'civilian' pipe bands, but the Chilean Navy Marines' Pipe Band is the only active military one.

Does anybody know if the US have an official Pipe Band for any service? You know, that is actually part of the service and not just ceremonial or unofficial?
