The only other answer is somebody has made an error when transcribing details from documents, or another document. Possibly the writer was using a ruler - there was a distraction - the ruler slipped to the below line and a transcribing error appeared.
This century, I had occasion to phone Beverly records office to say I couldn't find my gt. grandfather's death record for the month he died in 1942 aged 86 and was told it was quite normal for names sent to them by town registrars to be left off the monthly list sent to London. I then pursued the matter by saying his name didn't appear in the months afterwards either. The registrar kindly offered to double check receipts to see if he had indeed been omitted and the record been mid-filed. She duly contacted me to say she was as puzzled as I was. Many moons later the 1911 census was published and luckily for me my gt. grandfather was living at an address with several offspring that I personally knew - and there he was with the right age but a different name to the name he had used on all previous 1871; 1881; 1891; 1901 census.
I wonder if the army transferred him to the other unit because the other unit was short of men, or the place they were going to meant the other army unit need skills he had ?
Best of luck
