I was very pleased to read the my old Regiment held their annual church parade on first Sunday in May as per custom.
However, I was surprised t read that they marched off to the Regimental March Past "The Black Bear"????? When was "Highland Laddie" dropped as the March Past or was this a typo????

Hi Bill,
"the Black Bear " is the official march of the Old Regiment."Highland Laddie" is also an official regimental tune of another Heeland regiment,but it slips my mind at the moment(it may be the Highland Light Infantry).I have it somewhere here at home.Every time the regiment marches off in parade order from the armoury everyone knows what the first tune will be.But one time,for a parade,our air force pipe band were invited to march out of the armory after the ,and not to be outdone,we marched off to the "Air Forch Marchpast"
