Not much survives - http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/hospitalrecords/details.asp?id=2350

FindMyPast have four pages on a suitable candidate who served in the 2nd Battalion North Staffordshire Regiment from January to June 1891. Being discharged 'not likely to make an efficient soldier'.

Looking at the census most of the men were born in Staffordshire. So it is very likely to be him. His father was also David. living at 59 Stafford St, Dudley
