"Burma Dave" Davison was Leonard (Len) Davison, Ken's best friend.
"Spud" Hedges looks to be Sgt Harry Hedges.
There is some correlation of various names with other photos in your gallery from the collection of Sgt Ted Tharme, e.g. [View this photo] though with different spellings for Davison / Davidson and "Tich" Dayson / "Titch" Dyson. I know that Davison is correct in Ken's version but I suspect Dyson is more likely for the other chap because of multiple IDs by that name in other photos in your gallery.".
