Is this the one you mean:-

First name(s) Hugh
Last name O'Hagan
Age 19
Birth year 1896
Birth town Glasgow
Birth county Lanarkshire
Birth country Scotland
Service number 21849
Regiment Highlanders Light Infantry
Unit / Battalion 20th Battalion
Year 1916
Residence town Glasgow
Residence county Lanarkshire
Residence country Scotland
Series WO 363
Series description WO 363 - First World War service records 'burnt documents'

There isn't much at all on the images (mainly blank sheets) but his home address looks like 13 Washington Street, Anderston, Glasgow.

He had a Gun shot wound to his right foot.

His next of kin was his father, John O'Hagan of the same address.

He got the British War Medal and the Victory medal.

He joined up at Hamilton on 11th Jan. 1916.

Looks like he was demobbed in 1919 due to his disability (gun shot wound), to 30 William Street, Glasgow. He was single at the time.

Can I have a look up please for Hugh O'Hagan b 1896.
Just curious to see if he is one of my Hugh O'Hagan's born in Glasgow and thought there might be an address or parents names I would recognize on his service records.

I had another thread on a Hugh O'Hagan b 1864 in Ireland re U.S application but it was not "my" Hugh.

thank you
