Can we assume you have looked on Findmypast for his record? These will give you his Brigade and Battery. If he is not listed you can check the 1861 Worldwide Index , also on FindMyPast. This may give you his Brigade  and Battery.

If the station location link does not give you the information you are after, then you will have to look at the muster books in Kew.
