Default Montreal Black Watch RHR drummer 'Bubsy Earl Young

I am trying to find records pertaining to my grandfather's three
brothers who enlisted in the Black Watch together at the beginning of WWII.
The older two brothers were sheet metal workers and when the officers in charge learned of their trade they were "transferred to ordinance" whatever that means! So much for looking after their baby brother like Mom wanted. The youngest was underage of course.
I have no information at all regarding their enlistment other than they enlisted with the Black Watch in Montreal.
We are trying to compile a family history and would very much like to include some information regarding their military service.
The three gentleman were:

John Leroy Young sheet metal worker > ordinance?
Leonard Earl Young " " " "
Earl Marvin "Bubsy" Young " drummer in the Pipe band

Bubsy's sister Grace remembers waiting impatiently to see her brother in his "skirt"! She was eleven at the time they enlisted.

Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated!
Joyce
