British Postcard - "How he won the Victoria Cross. Piper Findlater" , At the storming of Dargai by the Gordon Highlanders' Piper Findlater. Although shot through both ankles, continued playing "Cock o' the North" during the advance of his comrades." Dargai is an administrative area of the Malakand District in Pakistan's northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, located on the main highway from Peshawar to Swat, Dir and Chitral. An attack on Dargai Heights during the Tirah campaign resulted in the award of four Victoria Crosses. The Heights were held by Afridi tribesmen but were successfully stormed by the Gordon Highlanders and the Gurkhas on 20 October 1897. Piper George Findlater and Private Edward Lawson of the Gordons, Henry Singleton Pennell of the Derbyshire Regiment and Samuel Vickery of The Dorsetshire Regiment were the VC medal recipients. The action was commemorated in verse by William McGonagall, the pipe march "The Heights of Dargai" by J. Wallace and the fiddle tune "Dargai" by James Scott Skinner. Richard Thompson later arranged and recorded a version of the Skinner tune for the guitar.
