One of their better-known pieces is Sgt. MacKenzie, composed by Joe MacKenzie in memory of his great grandfather, Charles Stuart MacKenzie, who was killed in action during World War I. "Sgt. MacKenzie" is perhaps a departure from their usual style, its drumming and piping subdued and primarily a vocal piece. It was featured in the soundtrack to the films, We Were Soldiers (2002) and End of Watch (2012). [3] [4]
