Robert Young (soldier)
Major General Robert Young CB, CMG, DSO (5 January 1877 – 25 February 1953) was a dentist, volunteer soldier, World War I brigade commander and professional New Zealand military officer. A British immigrant who came to New Zealand as a child, Young later rose to serve as a General Officer Commanding New Zealand Military Forces from 1925 to 1931. For service during World War I he was awarded the Distinguished Service Order, mentioned in despatches, and was one of only 14 members of the New Zealand Army to receive the French Legion of Honour during the war.
==Early life==
Born at Sunderland, England in 1877 Young came to New Zealand with his parents as a child. The son of Reverend Robert Young Vicar of St Mark's in Carterton, he was educated at Nelson College and after further study began practice as a dentist. Young's history of military service began in 1898 when he joined the New Zealand Volunteer Forces serving in the Amuri Mounted Rifles (which was subsequently absorbed into the Canterbury Yeomanry Cavalry).〔Swabey, Barbara, 'Major-General Robert Young, C.B., C.M.G., D.S.O., Legion of Honour', ''Historical Journal'', Otaki Historical Society, Vol. 9, 1986, pp.46–49.〕 Following his marriage to Florence Ward in 1899 he settled in Marton and began service with the Royal Rifles, rising to the rank of captain in 1910 before the unit was incorporated into the new 7th (Wellington-West Coast) Regiment in 1911.〔Haigh, Bryant & Polaschek, Allan, ''New Zealand and the Distinguished Service Order'', Christchurch: John. D. Wills, 1993, p.293.〕
