Have a look at other threads on this Board and pick up on advice given to others.

Google for where to find Regimental records / museum who may be able to help.

eg.
Some records on forces-war-records
https://www.forces-war-records.co.uk

Some on FMP/Ancestry

OH has an ancestor who was in the Coldstream Guards. They have their own regimental records and OH wrote to them and received a reply quite quickly with copies of all his records. I can't remember what it cost.
