There are REAMS of WW1 Army records for a David Hutton/John Hamilton amongst the pension records on Ancestry. Seems to be for earlier service though, but a very "colourful" record!

I think he was supposed to have suggested once that his real name began with O', if I remember Merry's old threads correctly.

Kate, that's interesting.

On one of the Army records he gives his mother as "Margret Hutton".

Mother lived at Horgan's Buildings, Cork. It's still there, visible on Google Maps.

She lived at no. 96 and I can see the house on Google Street view!!!

Unless they have changed the numbers since, that is....
