Pipe Band

North Nova Scotia Highlanders

Nova Scotia

Circa 1940-1941

On the far left is Pipe Major Ross Stone of Truro, NS. Third from the left is Piper Alex Ingram of Stellarton, NS. Eighth from the left is Piper Duncan MacIntyre of French Road, Cape Breton, and later Amherst.

Also in the photo (as noted in a war time newspaper clipping) are Pipers Cecil Archibald of Kemptown: Alex Cooper and Ralph Boston of Truro; Davie Matheson of Stellarton; Ira C. MacPhee of Truro; and Frank Carrigan. Drummers are Frank Carrigan Jr.; Melville Blackmoore and Ben Mitton, all of Truro.

Note that not all of the men have been issued North Nova Scotia Highlander cap badges yet. At least two men have no cap badges at all, and the man to Pipe Major Stone's left, in the front row, has what appears to be a Pictou Highlanders cap badge.
