CWGC mentions his wife. Does that tally with what you know of the "other" David Davidson?

Scotland's People has the death, in 1915, of David Davidson born in 1885 registered in the Service Returns section of Minor Records.

There are a total of 11 deaths of David Davidsons who were born in 1885.

I don't have any credits at the moment to check.

Many thanks everyone for your help and input this unfortunately was not  the David Davidson I was trying to find. Received help from another Rootschatter and eventually located him.
