Dundee Evening Telegraph, 4th May, 1916. "CANADIAN WITH ALYTH CONNECTION KILLED
Private David Murison, Canadian Regiment, was killed in action, April 12. Private Murison, who was 29 years of age, went out to Canada ten years ago, but was often home on visits. He joined in Canada and went through his training there. He went to the front two months ago. He is a son of Mr. David Murison, Ardrossan, and grandson of the late Mr. David Murison, Shanzie, Alyth."
David Murison (the grandfather) farmed 140acres or so at Shanzie.
His son, David Murison, was a bank clerk, born Alyth. It would appear his work took him around Scotland - in 1891 he, with wife and three children are living in Govan, where two of the three have been born. Come the Great War he is in Ayrshire.
Private David Murison was born at Pollockshields, Renfrewshire.
The Glasgow Herald, Saturday, 5th May, 1916. "Deaths on Service. MURISON.- Killed in action on 12th April, 1916, Private David Murison, Canadians, eldest son of David Murison, Torwood, Saltcoats."
