Gulane Burial Grounds, Edinburgh Harry 18 Jun. 1853 Kilmarnock, Ayr "Death of Lieut.-Col Yule, 9th Lancers- Poor Yule's body was not found till next morning. He had both thighs broken by musket balls, a ball through the head just over the eye, his throat cut, and his 21 Nov 2018 Descendants of George Yule Page 3 hands much gashed, besides other cuts on the head ; so it is supposed that when knocked of his horse he had put up his hands to save himself. Four of his men were lying dead beside him. Poor fellow, I was in hopes he would have been very shortly a C.B.; he well deserved some mark of distinction, for no officer ever took more trouble or was at more expense to join his regiment than Yule, when-ever there was a likelihood of anything to do. Even at this time he was on leave in Cashmere but traveled dak all the way to be in time to take his command of the 9th till Colonel Grant came up. His poor wife and young family are at home. " ( MS1162/1/2/3 Aberdeen Univ.) From the Military & Naval Military Times:" Lieutenant-Colonel Robert Abercrombie Yule of the 9th Lancers, was killed on the 10th June before Dehli, while in the command of his gallant regiment, in an encounter with the mutineers. By his death the Queen's army has lost a gallant and valuable officer. Colonel Yule was in the prime of life, and had seen considerable service in India with the 16 Lancers and the 9th Lancers, into which regiment exchanged. He entered the former regiment as a cornet in July 1835, and served in that corp. during the campaign in Afghanistan under the late Lord Keane, and was present at the siege and capture of Ghunznee, for which he received a medal; also the campaign on the Sutlej in 1846, and took part in the battle of Buddiwal, Aliwal, and Sobraon. During the latter part of the Punjab campaign he served with distinction as Major of Brigade to the second calvery brigade, and was present at the passage of the Chenab, at Ramnuggur, and the battles of Chillianwallah and Goojerat. He received the medals and clasps for the campaign of 1846 and for the Punjab." (6) Henry YULE was the youngest son of William and Elizabeth (PATERSON) YULE.
