He must be the same person as you can't have 2 men in the same Regt. with the same number.
My wife's uncle went in under one surname & came out with another so he's not the only one.

I don't know if it's of any significance but there's a John Maloney b. 1876 Co. Cork Ireland in Wales in 1901.
Marriage for a Thomas Maloney to Catherine Burke in 1902 Swansea.
1911 there's a Thomas Maloney b.1876 Co. Cork Ireland & Catherine in Swansea + 4 little Maloney's.
1 more child in 1912.
Catherine was only 32 so I wonder if they split up.
Might not be him of course as his age is out 7 years.
Might be a transcription error & perhaps he was 42.
Changed his name & joined up to escape his wife perhaps.

Hey I'm Related to Catherine MALONEY
Catherine MALONEY is the 2nd great grand aunt of mine so that make me her 2nd great grand nephew of Catherine MALONEY. Their common ancestor is Ruth HAYS (BIRKE) her Mum and Her Sister was my 2nd Great Grand Mum
