Text from page 581: The regiments at the moment in reserve in the town turned out in crowds, and lined the streets cheering themselves hoarse in their enthusiastic admiration in what the Canadians had done. To rouse still further martial enthusiasm of the moment the pipers of a Highland regiment, as the Canadian Scottish came in, were sent to welcome them, and headed them through the streets, playing them into camp.
