The angle of the badge on his head dress makes it a little difficult but my best guess is a fusilier regiment, possibly Royal Fusiliers thus he was an infantryman, a sergeant by his stripes.

If you wanted you could apply for his records subject to the conditions, the process is here:

You don't need his service number as long as you have his date of birth (among the other requirements).
