remembered that the present display IL
projected with a degree of completeness

One Of the most critical engagements
in the recent fighting on the northwest
frontier Of India, was the storming OF
Dargai Ridge by the Gordon Highland
ers. The position Of the Afridis tribes
men seemed almost impregnable; and
in advancing to take il it was neces-
sary to cross an open space swept by
an incessant fire Of rifles, where more
than one hundred men had already
been killed or wounded. The High
landers, at the word of command,
sprang into this open space, their pip
ers striking up Cock Of the North" rs
the rush was made. Piper Findlater
was one Of the first TO enter upon the
deadly strip of ground, and when, after
a few yards, he was laid low by a shot
through both legs, he propped himself
up against boulder and continued to
play with undated energy. The High
landers suffered severely. but they took
the ridge; and Piper Findlater was
recommended fer the Victoria Cross for
his gallantry.
