David Davidson 523 Australian Forces
A Forfarion serving with the Australians has been killed in battle. Sergeant David Davidson, who has made the supreme sacrifice, was a nephew of the late Mr David Davidson, Northampton Farm, Forfar. When he left Forfar, he went to Canada, where he remained for about six years, but shortly before war broke out he had transferred to Australia, and he at once joined the forces in that colony.
