It say's he was 'killed in action'. James survived. It was his brother who died

I've just had some more information back from my husbands relative, who i'm trying to help.
James' father was David Wilkie Clement.
She has a cutting saying "CLEMENT, Sgt. DAVID ALLAN. The younger son of Mr. D W Clement, he served in the Royal Engineers during the First world War. He was invalided home suffering from the effects of gas, and died on 19th March at East Pitkierie, aged 20. (March 1917)".
This would imply that the guy with the moustache was David Allan, but the stamp on the back of that photo reads "Newbridge February 1918" - Newbridge, Ireland, so the moustache must be James Wilkie Clement?

Someone asked me the question and I didn't know, so I thought I'd ask on here.
Thank you anyway.

The Common Room / Struggling to trace someone going backwards

Just a quick question......
If there is someone you are pretty sure is an ancestor, but can't trace him going backwards, how would you go about finding said ancestor's descendants if he was never married?
Thanks in advance

I didn't even notice that.
Could he have been demoted? I know that happened to a relative of mine.
Or if it's a different regiment (going by the badge), he might not have kept the high rank? I don't know though, i'm just guessing.
