What does KIA stand for? I did wonder if he enlisted in Glasgow as he was born there.

That doesn't appear to be John's parents - his parents were Daniel Fowler & Jane Gordon FOWLER(FLEMING) John is on the 1901 census

1901 census address 24.Adelphi Street Bridgeton Glasgow
Daniel Fowler age 37 occupation now Hill clerk
Jane G F Fowler age 37
William F Fowler age 12 .John W Fowler age 9, Jessie McD Fowler 7, Catherine F Fowler 4

Also looks as if John named his daughter Jane after his mother.

Or, someone has put it on Ancestry ( where I found it) and it's wrong
