When they left to go back to Australia in 1953 their address in in UK was c/o Mrs WILSON Flemingate Beverley
1939 there is Mrs Margaret Alice WILSON born 24 Apr 1898 at 116 Flemingate. She was nee SAVAGE I am not sure that this helps though!

You can download the documentation about land which Edward claimed in 1920 under the Discharged Soldiers' Settlement Act using the link below, but it doesn't seem to give any details of his actual military service.
https://www.archivessearch.qld.gov.au/items/ITM3479135 Although David Witty's documentation does give details of his - Private, 51st DL Inf. I shall have another look back through Edward's papers to see if I missed it in there. Edit - nope, still nothing. David was discharged 18 Feb 1919 at York, but I can't find any record of his service on Ancestry or FMP. I guess he was too young to actually serve overseas in the war though.

There is a John Hotham Wilson / Martha Jane Witty marriage in 1892 in Beverley, so Mrs Wilson could well be a relative of David Witty's.
