I was watching Adam's excellent video on youtube and it occurred to me that I don't remember many (if any) statues of pipers appearing on war memorials. Have we any?

Apart from the several modern memorials to the 51st Highland Division in Scotland and Europe which use piper statues I can't think of any pipers on older war memorials.
Thanks

Not a piper but I did like seeing the statue of the drummer on the memorial at winchburgh. |

I think that's the one that probably set me thinking.
