It was never mentioned in the novels that Davy or his relatives enlisted. And you are right, Davy was around 40 during the war years.

However, the trivia refers to Davy's counterpart who appeared in Road to Avonlea and is later mentioned in Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story. This universe use different timeline from the books (the story is set 25-30 years later than the book timeline). Davy and Dora first appear in Season 2 which takes place in 1904.

I haven't seen this season yet, but based on a quick look on the episode script, I don't think their age is mentioned in this episode. The scene with Anne and Rachel discussing Davy signing up takes place at some point between 1915 and 1917 (it's been a while since I last saw that film, I can't tell for sure). Davy could've been just the right age to enlist (around 18 – a typical adventurous teen) based on how young he looks like in 1904. I even dare say he was younger than he should've be. But to tell for sure I would have to do a proper research
