I am trying to find out more information on my grandfather's uncle, Kenneth John. I have family records stating that after WW1 he was posted to Queen victoria's Own Poona Horse Guard. Does anyone know if there is a way to find any records of those who served in this regiment. I do know that he was a Commanding Officer when he retired. I am guessing that he was born in the 1890s. Although his parents were based in Ceylon , his mother seemed to return to Portobello, Scotland to give birth to his sister, Doris, in 1894. I have no records of his birth through family records so I do not know if he was born in Ceylon or Scotland as well. I thought that possible a way to find out more about him would be to go the Horse Guard route. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
