If he had completed all his service by 1913, including any reserve commitment, his papers should be at the National Archives, Kew in the WO97 Class of documents. If he continued his service after that date his papers might be in the WW1 soldiers document series. The National Archive website will give you details. Also check the Medal Index Cards for WW1, which may also give you a clue. These are available on-line at the NA website.

Hello Lyndy
I found a site on the web called Manchester Regiment Archives at http://www.tameside.gov.uk/leisure/new/lh35.htm Might be of some use?
Best wishes
Ann
