A Highland regiment marched and fought to the pipes. The bagpipe was treated as an instrument of war, and the regimental piper's job was to play the men forward and to keep playing when it mattered most — under fire, in the smoke, where the skirl of the pipes carried over the din and stiffened the line. At Waterloo, pipers of the Highland regiments stood outside their squares and played as French cavalry surged around them, steadying men who had every reason to run. For the Gordons, the pipes were the sound of home and of pride carried into a foreign field — and a piper, like the one in this set, was as much a part of the regiment's fighting spirit as its colours.

The seven-figure set is the colour party and music of the 92nd — an officer, the King's Colour and the Regimental Colour with their two colour sergeants, a piper, and a drummer, in red coats, Gordon kilts and the tall feathered bonnet. It is the ceremonial heart of a Highland diorama. Send the 92nd Gordon Highlanders Advancing forward from it, rank the line with the marching 92nd Gordon Highlanders, and place the regiment under the eye of Wellington at Waterloo.
