Sir,
I have come across the photos you have posted.  I have emailed a copy to a  cousin in England to see if this is our David Jackson.  Our family is from Lanarkshire, in Carluke.  David was in England just before going off to Europe in the war.  He visited with my Mom and their Aunt and family in Stotfold, and my Grandfather in or near London.  I need to see if I can enlarge the photo a closer look.
Why is this friend looking for David?
Hi, Woodworth is my friend and he searching for  help me because I help  the David Jackson son, born in Italy, aug 1945; he wish find the father...

Hi Behnybaby,

As you can see from the post by Raffaella, Davide Perlini a retired Postman is looking for his father, who he claims is a David Jackson. From the information I have received its very clear that A David Jackson is his father. Whether its your David Jackson we don't know, but if it was I hope it doesn't create any problem, it would however make Davide Perlini very happy to have found someone he has been searching for, for many years.

Best wishes and many thanks for responding.
George

Thanks George!

David's son sent me also the baptism act and the priest wrote "son of David Jackson, scottish soldier, + Bermondsey address.
Also David's son( Davide Perlini-mother surname-) have a little sheet of paper where David Jackson wrote in handwriting the name and the address...
God bless,

Sir,
What would be the date of the gentlemans birth, we actually have more than one David. No worries this poses no complications, I have sent photo around, but not given any details, awaiting answer from cousins, and will notify you of any success.
 I will also will send a copy to my niece, who lives near my Mother and see if she can identify the gentleman in the photo.  I would be very surprised if she remembered the address.  But we shall try.  I do not believe it is my Uncle due to the date, and the men with him are not his brother for sure, but may be a cousin.
 Many of the family men where working in or in military in England.  Almost every sibling of my Grandfather's family had a David most born around the same date, which makes things difficult at times.   
Would it be possible to see a photo of David?  Does he have any other information? 
Uniform identifies him as a Guards regiment, Cap looks like Scots Guard,  the reversed Chevron if for good conduct.  He suggests the uniform looks pre-war, but states date is after the military push from Patten and Montgomery.  So is it possible the dating is off somewhat, between the pictures?  Is anyone else in the cut off picture?   My cousin was very young when he saw David last but he is into military history and supplied the information regarding the uniform.

Hi behnybaby,
I and as a well Davide Perlini, we know not the birthdate of THIS David Jackson in the picture.
The pictures are above, click on the links in my previous message. You can see it in large format.
By ScotlandsPeople website I know that in Carluke was born 2 David Jackson ( without other first name, just and only David) ; one born in 1920 and one in 1924…. I know not if the ScotlandsPeople database is complete….

We have no other infos on David Jackson that we are searching for.. he stayed some month in the area where met the italian girl.. It was the problem with language .. but no problem for the deep love..
We asked help abt the uniform, and  someone saying RASC and someone Scots Guards;
 2 UK veterans remembering David Jackson; they met it in Italy in same area(Gothic line, near Bologna town) and one remember that was in the RASC; the second is sure that was in Scots Guards. So it is a dilemma. But both are old men… and so, maybe something is missed…. Second my opinion he was in the Scots Guards in the picture with cap… maybe in the picture with brothers or cousins he could be a driver or dispatch rider… the son saying that he was a dispatch rider, and in the travels in the area, stopping at Perlini home, so born a friendship and after the love… It is very probable that David Jackson know not abt the pregnancy, because Fernanda Perlini descovered that was pregnant around same time that David left Bologna area and moved  with Army…
Hoping in a help,
 all the best,
 suanj

The info on the uniform came from England.
My David
2993186, 7/10th Bn., Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders
Who died age 20
On 06 April 1943
ENFIDAVILLE WAR CEMETERY
 
So this is why I needed confirm on dates.

Bear in mind that although the picture appeared in the Carluke Gazzete it would have covered local rural areas and according to SP there were, between 1910-1925

2 Davids born in Carluke
1 David born in Forth
1 David born Tarbrax


He may also have been born elsewhere and moved to the area as a child
