David Yemen was born February 12, 1915 in Theodore, Saskatchewan.  After enlisting in the RCAF in 1942, Yemen underwent training in Regina, Virden and Winnipeg before receiving his Air Navigator’s badge and heading overseas.

Like the other members of the crew, 30 year-old Yemen arrived at 550 Squadron on January 8, 1945 and flew all seven operations with the Harris crew.
