It is dedicated to all pipers who fell during the Great War, regardless of race or unit. Many pipers continued to play despite wounds and always with a disregard for the storm of shells and bullets falling about them.

Sculptured by Andy De Comyn it depicts a piper in full battle dress, kilt and tin helmet climbing up and over the parapet of a trench encouraging the men on with the sound of his pipes.The plaques around the base of the statue show the regiments which lost a piper.
