Did you see this in National Roll of the Great War:
P.G. SERVICE Sgt RFA Volunteering in January, 1915, he crossed to France in the following year, and served there until the close of the war. During this period he took part in the Battles of the Somme, Arras, Messines, Passchendaele, and those of the German Offensive, and subsequent Allied Advance of 1918. Retained on special duties for some months after the Armistice he returned to England for demobilisation in July, 1919, and holds the General Service and Victory Medals. 19, White Street, Pendleton.
Write-ups in the NatRoll should be treated with caution. Often inaccurate.
I suspect that assuming the man with the next number might have gone to the same unit in France is not a strong case. Ok for initial enlistment and perhaps first joining RFA Depot ( I suspect he enlisted early Jan 1915 then joined at the Glasgow Depot) but afterwards they all went to different places.
