Can anyone suggest where I could look and research army archives please. My Gr Grandfather joined the army in 1879 in Liverpool and was part of the Royal Scottish Borderers. He wasn't Scottish so I'm wondering why he was in this section of the army. I have his army number and have info that he served in India.

Thanks

If he came out on a pension his Army record may be at the National Archives.

You can search online.

They may also be on Ancestry. Do you want a look up?
