Many thanks to all of you for your input. Sorry about delay in replying.
Will have to check Army records carefully as I know the Naval ones are correct.

Definitely

One of my Great Uncles joined the Army and later transferred to the Air force in WW1

Also an Uncle was in the Territorial Army at the outbreak of WW11 but enlisted in the Navy.
