From your OP
I have a record from "Findmypast" that shows he joined the Highland Light Infantry August 17, 1889.
I assumed that you have his service papers
search.findmypast.co.uk/record?id=gbm%2f...o97%2f4902%2f5596913
His service history, such as it is, is on page 3
Where he served with dates is detailed at top of p.4

My mother was their youngest daughter Beverly. I have been trying to find specifics about Moncrief's military service. We may be 2nd cousins? I live in Oregon.
