There are two Mc Intyre's listed on the Medal Roll for the Royal Engineers, could either be the man in the article?

Lance Corporal 11386 A.H.L. Mc Intyre, Royal Engineers, 7th Company
2nd Corporal 11386 A.C. Mc Intyre, Royal Engineers, 30th Company

Both have the same service number?, could they be the same person?

Any information welcome

You need to study mo

Graves,

The 2nd Corporal rank would be right for the time period of the campaign.
