David ( b 1915) and Mary moved to Canada and David died in 2008.
Any info?

No specific information, I'm afraid, but I have a photograph of the Kilmarnock Academy Cadet Corps Band, taken circa 1926. Don't know if David the younger was in the band but, if so, would be part of this group. My father, Hugh Knox, (born 1913) was also in the band and was around the same age as David, so may have known him. Sadly, my father is no longer with us so impossible to get further info. I'm attaching the photo in case it's of any interest.

David yuille and Mary Sharpe are my grandparents...their daughter Janet White yuille is my mother...she has a brother David Yuille, and sister Mary(Mamie) Yuille still living...David Yuille SR died 2008, Mary Sharpe Yuille died feb 2011 both in Ottawa Canada.
David did research on his ancestry that went back to the 1400's...i think my mother has the copy.
No info on Cadet corps that i know of, but he was in the royal Scot Fusiliers in WW2, but not sure what regiment...
