Default British Army of the Rhine Pipe Band

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know when the Pipe Band of the BAOR was disbanded?

Did they exist right up to 1994 when the command itself was disbanded?

Regards,

Chris

Chris.

I wonder what its status was?

There is a Crossed Swords Pipes and Drums Germany organisation active since 2007 with British military origins and connections.

See http://www.crossed-swords.com/index%20h.htm

Thanks Tim,

No idea - I picked up the badge a while ago and not sure where it falls into my collection. I'll contact the organisation and see what turns up.
