Alexander Young VC (born Ballinamana, Clarinbridge, County Galway, 27 January, 1873—19 October, 1916) was an Irish recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.

Alex (Peko) Young aka George Alexander (b. December 28, 1948, Cranhill, East End, Glasgow) is a Scottish drummer, guitarist and session musician.

Peko Young is the brother of George, the rhythm guitarist and founding member of The Easybeats and also Malcolm and Angus, founding members of the Australian hard rock band, AC/DC.

When the Young family emigrated to Sydney Australia in 1963, Peko chose to remain in Britain to pursue musical interests. In 1967, Peko formed the London-based band Grapefruit - initially called 'The Grapefruit' - with three former members of 'Tony Rivers & The Castaways' (namely John Perry, Geoff Swettenham and Pete Swettenham). During this time Alex (Peko) played bass guitar.

Peko signed up as songwriter with Apple Music Publishing Ltd. London at 94 Baker Street, by Terry Doran (later manager of Grapefruit) managing director of Apple and friend of the Beatles, during the summer of 1967. The song writing contract was based on the strength of the song "Lullaby for a Lazy Day", liked by the Beatles and John Lennon (a tape of this song was found in John Lennon's personal belongings after he was killed in New York).

Grapefruit received some support from The Beatles and released two albums and several singles during 1968 and 1969. The group was launched by the Beatles with a press conference in 1968, on January 17th, with the first single "Dear Delilah". It went to number 21 in the UK single chart in February 1968. Paul McCartney directed a promo film (never released) for the single "Elevator". John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison attended and helped in their recording sessions for the singles, because they didn’t have a producer or a record deal at the time. However, the group broke up in late 1969, with only Peko remaining in the music business, as a session musician.

He released further recordings under the name of Grapefruit, Sha-Sha, and Universal Party.

During the late 1970s Peko wrote at least one song for AC/DC. This song, titled You Aint Hold On Me was recorded during the sessions for the Dirty Deeds album in 1976. This song was never released and remains in Albert Productions' vaults.

Alexander Young (d. 1684) was a 17th century Scottish prelate. Young was born in Aberdeen of the Altbar family. In the winter of 1671, he became Bishop of Edinburgh, a position he held until his translation to be Bishop of Ross in 1679. This had been arranged by the Duchess of Lauderdale in order to allow John Paterson, Bishop of Galloway (not John Paterson, Young's predecessor at Ross) to hold the diocese of Edinburgh. Bishop Young suffered from an ailment, and in 1684 travelled to France to have an operation. He failed to survive this operation, and died several weeks afterwards.
