If he was at Victoria Street in 1911 you should find him on the census for that year. If you do then the entry ought to give his occupation and if he was a soldier then you may be lucky enough to find his regiment stated. This is the key piece of information needed to find his military record at the PRO, Kew, near London. If he is not at Victoria Street on the census for 1911 then you will need to determine what regiment(s) were at the barracks on the date in question and check the Muster Rolls for these at the PRO or have a researcher do it for you. The information pages at 'Alphabetical Index of Information Leaflets' under 'A'(rmy) will be of further help.
