Hmmmmm.....but the poms have always shoved everyone else but themselves out front, they even done that with us Aussies. The front lines are always where the most slaughter happens, and the poms are left to finish off the enemy. Always has been that way.
I spent two years with the Royal Highland Fusiliers in Malaya, they were all just wet nosed kids from the streets of Glasgow. They had very little regard for the English, as they remembered times when they were used only as front line bait.

As a musical instrument of war, the Great Pipes of the Highlands were without equal, according to historians. The shrill and penetrating notes worked well in the roar and din of battle and pipes could be heard at distances up to 10 miles. Because of the importance of the bagpipes to any Highland army, they were classified as an instrument of war by the Loyalist government during the Highland uprising in the 1700s. After the defeat of Bonnie Prince Charlie in 1745, kilts and bagpipes were outlawed, the pipes being classified as instruments of war.
