As that's quqite a while ago, any records on Mr McStravick will be at the National Archive at Kew.  It's quite an unusual name, so might be easier to locate soomewhere.

Here's another site that may be of help:

Also, the 1881 census shows a James McStravick age 45, married to Elizabeth.  It says he was born in Ireland.  Others in the household are: Patrick (17), Catherine (15) and John (11).  They are living at 34 Jerviston Square, Bothwell, Lanarkshire and his occupation is given as Labourer in Iron Works.  Reference is Scottish Census, ED8, Household Schedule number 144, Line 1, Roll cssct1881_204

In respect of Henry Smith, you can contact the Army Record Office for his record.  Details are here:
