A quick Google brought up this link: http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=17801 If you scroll down you'll see that Eastern Command did indeed have a depot at Redhill. ADDED: In fact, there's loads if you Google, such as the pictures from the depot here http://www.oldredhill.com/?goto=marketfieldway If you want any further help on your grandfather then just give us his details.
