In December 1914, four months after Britain's entry into the First World War, Glen enlisted in the Royal Scots.[1] He was posted to the Western Front in August 1915 and was lightly wounded in the stomach and hands in June 1916.[1][4] He won the Military Medal for bravery and was recommended for the Distinguished Conduct Medal on a number of occasions.[1] On 9 April 1917, Glen was serving as a sergeant when he was killed near Arras during the First Battle of the Scarpe.[1] He was buried in Cabaret-Rouge British Cemetery, Souchez.[2]
