From the bbc news web site:

"Two Irish Guards have been killed during fighting in the southern Iraqi city of Basra.
One of the men was Lance Corporal Ian Malone, 28, from Dublin.

He was also a member of the regimental pipe band."

Q: Why don't more Uilleann pipers also play Highland pipes?
A: Not enough room on their shoulders for drones and the chip.
