Since the two army numbers are very close it would suggest both these men enlisted more or less at the same time,going by John Halloran's date of date would of meant he was in the army prior to the outbreak of the Great War.
Hope this is of some use to you

Hi Mitch
I am a new member and have noticed your posting about WW1. My grandfather was John Halloran born 1886 in Cork City. He joined the Royal Munster Fusiliers 2nd battalion and was based at Maplaquet Barracks at Aldershot. He was killed on 27 August 1914 at Etreux in France. I'm afraid I don't have any medals or papers of his to interest you but will expand on the attached info if it is of any use to you.
