David William Cunningham was in the Army and was posted all over the world, so what clues are on his Army Records?

Hallmark,

This is David William.

same man ?

I would say that this is the wrong man and William Robert’s father is just David.

A photocopy of the cert for  William Robert Cunningham,  D.O.B is 14 JUL 1919  Cork.  is probably needed!

Wouldn't be surprised if Mother's maiden name was needed for that! Don't know!

Thank you all for your help.   
I think I will go with David b. 1888 and start again looking for parents John Robert + Louisa.   
I went with the other David as that's the only one that kept coming up.  (looks like I'm not the only one that has gone with the same family, looking at other trees). 
Now my D.I.L has started asking her Gran about the family we may find out more, without finding out about the Irish connection we would never have known.  All she needs to find now are the birth cert. hopefully her Gran may have them somewhere.  If not then she will have to send off for the birth and marriage cert. 
She has spoken to her mother today who remembers Marie + Buddy, so yes this seems to be the right family.   
Thank you all again and special thanks to 'haywood'

Some people like growing Apples and Oranges on same tree!

Better off ignoring other "trees"!
