Birth*	David Edward Whitmarsh-Knight was born on 3 October 1942 in Cawnpore, IndiaG.1
Death*	He died on 15 January 2013 in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, EnglandG.2
	David was schooled at Dulwich College London, worked as an account exec for JWT was then awarded a Thouron scholarship to study at University of Pennsylvania (Ivy League) starting at Wharton then found existentialism and transferred to Liberal Arts and Sciences. He held the USA in the highest regard (at one time the CIA head hunted him but he wanted to pursue academia free of that.) He was awarded a Canada Council Doctoral Fellowship to complete his PhD. His family were Raj for five or so generations;p his grand father was deputy commissioner for Mysore state - population 20 million people in 1911. His two uncles and father (retired Lt Col John William Whitmarsh-Knight) were Colonels in the British Indian Army with his dad awarded a Military Cross and oak leaf cluster (mentioned in dispatches twice and had his subordinate die in his arms for the action that won him a posthumous Victoria's Cross.) In short he was a war hero from 4th 15th Punjab regiment and more unusual was that he was in the Education Corp. Seven men from his regiment were awarded V.C.s. His regiment were given the honour of marching first into Rangoon for the acceptance of Japanese surrender there. His next mission was to set up the King George VI Royal Military Academy (Rashtriya Military School Bangalore) in preparation for India's independence and his transfer to the British Army UK where he was very high up running British Army education worldwide.
	His obituary appeared on the website of the 2013 Dulwich College Yearbook and Alleyn Club Newsletter in London, EnglandG, and read as follows: David Edward Whitmarsh-Knight (1953-61) 03.10.1942 – 15.01.2013. The younger of two brothers educated at Dulwich, David was born in Cawnpore (now Kanpur), India. He came to England in 1947 when his father transferred from the Indian Army to the British Army He entered Dulwich College from Burnt Ash Primary in Downham near Bromley on an 11+ scholarship, was a member of Drake and had an excellent school career working his way up the Geography Side. He was a remarkable athlete, becoming an established fixture in the 1st XV, 1st XI (cricket) and the hockey XI (which he captained). He was a prefect and a highly respected Captain of Ivyholme. On leaving school he went, with a Thouron Scholarship, to the University of Pennsylvania gaining an MA in English. He proceeded to the University of New England (Graduate Education studies) and then went to the University of New Brunswick where, with a ground-breaking interpretation of William Blake’s ‘Four Zoas’, he gained his PhD. Thereafter he studied and taught in Australia. Graduate Theology and Religion studies at St Andrews College, Sydney University, were followed by his appointment as a very charismatic Senior Lecturer at the University of New South Wales. He re-settled in the UK in the mid-1980s where his career encompassed appointments as Head of Graduate Studies and Head of School, Liberal Arts and Sciences. His burgeoning teaching career in the UK was, however, ended by a serious breakdown in his health and crippling health issues underpinned the last 30 years of his life. Despite his debilitating health problems, he carved out a place in international academia as an authority on William Blake’s poetry (especially the ‘Four Zoas’) and the Shakespearean stage. He published challenging interpretations and insights on both subjects. David’s academic fields indicate the breadth of his erudition and interests – palaeography; the Dead Sea scrolls; phenomenology of religion and education; aesthetics and mythology; history of the stage; Elizabethan and Jacobean drama and theatre; 19th and 20th Century English and European literature and drama. David was married twice. His first wife, Annette (nee Fyall), was a nutritionist who shelved her career to partner David in the first half of his married life. They had two sons, Edward and Eric. All three are currently living in Sydney. David’s second wife was Rhonda (nee Mackie) and she sacrificed her artistic and architectural careers to care for David through the second half of his married life. They had one son, Jonathan, who, with Rhonda, lives in Cambridge. David, in many ways, epitomised ‘an Alleynian’ shaped by the ‘Dulwich Experiment’. His life was powered by a deep unbigoted Christian faith. Scion of an Empire family defined by service (civil, church and military), David was proudly British, culturally embracive, ethnically colour blind and socially classless. He had a visceral hatred of injustice of any sort. Above all, David was not afraid to think differently and, through re-interpretation and re-definition, confront and expand social boundaries of behaviour and academic limits of knowledge.3

Birth*	Robert York was born on 10 October 1777 in Royalsborough, Cumberland County, MaineG.1
	He may be the Robert York who served during the War of 1812 in Capt. Nathan Stanley's Company, Col. Denny McCobb's Regiment, enlisting on April 11, 1814 for the duration of the war. This was largely a Maine company so it seems likely that it could be this Robert. [Potter's Military History of NH, 81-5]
