The story

In January 1948, at the officers' mess of a Highland battalion, Jock Sinclair announces his tenure as acting commanding officer is over.

Despite Sinclair's extensive combat experience, brigade headquarters considers Barrow – whose ancestor founded the battalion – a more appropriate peacetime commanding officer.

Whereas Sinclair enlisted as a piper and rose through the ranks, Barrow joined from Oxford University.
