Palestinian Bagpiper

A blast from the past...2009?

I found a fellow Highland Bagpiper

Seems odd that you would come across a bagpipe band in the Middle East. The explanation lies in whats called the British Mandate. Large swaths of of modern day Israel and Jordan came under the control of Britain from 1920 until 1948. As is true in the British Army regiments, Palestinian regiments adopted Pipe and Drum corps which remain today.
