The biggest problem is that a lot of records at the National Archives were destroyed and to my knowledge approx 70% were lost in a fire so sometimes there is just a brick wall. Thanks again for your interest.
My Regards,

Still worth a try I would think. What about the Imperial War Museum? Also see here https://www.nam.ac.uk/explore/72nd-r...wn-highlanders
