On a service record of a RGA man there is a reference to 98 HAG possibly linked to 49 Company RGA at Catterick Bridge. Anyone know what this means?

49 Company RGA are shown on the LLT and confirmed with Army list 1914 as

RGA No. 49 Company ; Queenstown Harbor. South Irish Coast Defences.

Many of the RGA companies of the coastal artillery formed the nucleus of new siege batteries which were subsequently deployed to France.
