Thanks for your reply. The reason I asked about Maj. McCool, was that in March 1942, he was the 'Corps Raiding Officer' and was detached for 'special duties' and sent off to Scotland to train for a small raid, who's target was identified as Dieppe. (Source; NAC Ottawa).
Ah, Lord Lovat, 17th Baron and Chief of the Clan Fraser, formerly an officer of the Scots Guards and later Officer Commanding No. 4 (Army) Commando, and even later, 1st Special Service Brigade (No. 1 Commando Brigade), with his own personal Piper in tow, Piper Bill Millin, Regina born....Glasgow raised. I'll have a look at No. 4 Commando and see what there is to see.
Cheers 
Norm; does this look familiar.........Canadian troops practise cliff-scaling, 1942.

Mark: wasn't the piper's name "Mullen" or "McMullen"?
Also...Brian McCool wound up with the Royal Regiment of Canada as, I think, Band Officer prior to Gino Falcone taking over.
McCool died c.1983.
