There was a famous story of the First World War of a Scottish piper in France leading 4 Scottish fighters across no-man’s land between the trenches. As they marched towards the enemy the piper was playing a grand swirling attack tune.

Dee-dee diddle-de-diddle-de-diddle-dee

The 4 fighters and the piper were striding on but a burst of machine-gun fire came from inside the German trench.

Ack-ack-ack-ack-ack-ack

One of the soldiers fell mortally wounded, so now there was just 3 fighters and the piper but they carried on marching.

Dee-dee diddle-de-diddle-de-diddle-dee

More machine gun fire came from the Germans

Ack-ack-ack-ack-ack-ack

Another brave fighter fell dead so now there were just 2 soldiers left marching behind the piper.

Dee-dee diddle-de-diddle-de-diddle-dee

Ack-ack-ack-ack-ack-ack

Another soldier dropped dead leaving just one Scottish fighter and the piper at which point that soldier turned to the piper and said;

Can you no play something they bloody like?

Some soldiers of an infantry regiment stationed at Basel were sitting in a cafe. One had as his vis-a-vis a German civilian.

‘Would you fire on the Germans if they came to Switzerland?’ asked the German.

‘No’ said the Swiss.

‘Waiter! A glass of beer for this brave soldier,’ ordered the German, ‘and your comrades at the next table,’ he continued ‘would they fire on the Germans?’

‘They would no more fire on the Germans than I would.’

‘Excellent!’ exclaimed the German ‘Waiter, glasses of beer for all these soldiers. Tell me, dear friend,’ he went on, ‘are the Swiss soldiers as good friends of the Germans as you are?’

‘Ah I cannot say,’ said the soldier.

‘But tell me why you personally would not fire on the Germans?’

‘Because I’m in the band.’

I thought it might be the one where they ran out of ammo and the sergeant yelled " Kilts up Cocks out CHARGE "
