Perhaps Cpl J Glen 3251234 was not actually killed in the war, which would explain the absence of information at CWGC? Have you tried contacting the Royal Scots to ask if they have anything on him?
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

So they were Cameronians and 1 Black probably infers 1B = 1st Battalion (India)

You need to be next of kin.
