King & Country EA026 Eighth Army Pipes and Drums Retired Rare, Brand New


K&C’s first all-new pipe band in 12 years! This twelve-piece group comprises 1x Drum Major, 1x Pipe Major, 3x pipers, 1x big drummer, 2x bass drums and 4 side drummers of the Black Watch, the senior Highland Regiment. 


All our band are in “shirt-sleeve” parade order and are wearing the “Royal Stewart” kilts for the pipers and the “Government Black Watch” tartan for the remainder. 


Additional pipers and drummers are available as “singles” to increase your band or as individual figures.


In August 1942, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill paid a surprise visit to see the men of the Eighth Army fighting in North Africa. 


During his trip Churchill inspected many different units of Britain’s Desert Army and met with the newly appointed Commanding General Bernard Montgomery better known as “Monty”. 


Churchill liked what he saw… there was a renewed fighting spirit in the men and in Montgomery they had a leader, who at long last, exuded confidence and ability. In a few short months the Eighth Army under Montgomery would defeat Erwin Rommel and his Afrika Korps at a little known Egyptian railhead called… El Alamein. 


These new figures commemorate that historic visit and honour the men of the Desert Army.
