All base drummers wore these skins at one time ,every once in a while you will see one worn now but not very often. I think Mount Forest pipe band still have one but since the old fellow died no one wears it.. Bill do you mean Malcolm Weir? If you do he was my Supervisor in the post Office & I have his Seaforth book (pipe music of course) a great fellow & liked his toddy. I guess that patch on his shoulder would be the 5th Div.on't recall when the 5th was formed but the Irish went overseas in October of 42.
