Have you tried the National Archives Website at www.nationalarchives.gov.uk ? It's an invaluable starting point for all sorts of Family History and well worth a trip to its super new site at Kew. The website will tell you what records they hold on those who served in the military prior to 1915. The records of soldiers who went on to serve in WWI were passed on and stored. Unfortunately many were destroyed by an incendiary bomb in WW2 although some fragments have been pieced together and copies are available via Ancestry.co.uk
I haven't been able to trace my Grandad's record but good luck with your search.
