I can only find one Michael O'Brien listed to a Scottish regiment, it says Scottish Rifles, Which i believe were the Cameronians, his number would be 14432 and was entitled to the British War Medal and the Victory Medal, I also looked up Scottish rifles and O'Brien using the national archives for the medal card and it only returned one, the link is here

The medal card is available to download for £2

I hope this helps
