not sure if any of you ex service guys know of this guy's story,if you don't google him,try the dawlish piper.
it was his 87th birthday today and they had a group of pipers play him round the town.everyone,and I do mean everyone came out to applaud the man.I've talked to him a few times and his stories make you shiver. remembrance day isnt the only day these guys should get a mention.
