Thank you, Elmarie.

While out walking this morning, it occurred to me that his employment with the AOC might have had some connection to the munitions storage depot outside Longtown, but I checked, and that was created in the 1930s. Similarly, the cordite factory at Gretna wasn't opened until 1915, so no connection there either. So George Angley's living in the Longtown area and also being employed by the Army Ordnance Corps seems to have been just a coincidence.

Edit: George Angley was born in the 4th quarter of 1867, the birth being registered at Longtown.
