Piper Daniel Laidlaw V.C. (1892-1916): A Scottish Hero in War and Peace Born in the Borders of Scotland, Piper Daniel Laidlaw rose to fame in two distinct realms: the battlefield and the golf course. On September 25, 1915, during World War I, Laidlaw earned the Victoria Cross, the highest military decoration for valor, for his actions at Hohenzollern Redoubt in France. Back home in Scotland, Laidlaw's name was celebrated in the pages of 'Scotland's Industrial Souvenir' alongside those of seven other distinguished Scottish businesses, including Laidlaw & Fairgrieve of Galashiels. A talented golfer, J.E. Laidlaw carried on Piper Laidlaw's legacy, competing in events like the MCC Lands End Trial on a 990 cc AJS and sidecar with M. Laidlaw in 1936. In the world of sports, Laidlaw's name continued to be mentioned, such as during the 1988 Five Nations Championship match between Wales and Scotland at National Stadium in Cardiff. However, Piper Laidlaw's story extends beyond Scotland. In India, a street scene bears testament to his military service, a reminder of the global impact of this remarkable man. From the battlefields of World War I to the fairways of Scotland and beyond, Piper Daniel Laidlaw's name remains etched in history as a symbol of courage, determination, and Scottish pride.
