2nd Lt James Hogan MC

Bit baffling J Hogan.

• He is enrolled in ADRIC without a regiment.
• His Alphabetic ADRIC registrar gives MC, but numeric does not show him with MC. The James Hogan in West Riding Regt has MC
• Born Tipp SR with a connection to Yorks on RIC enlistment
• The most likely man is James (Patrick) Hogan in West Yorks Regt
