I would appreciate any suggestions as to where I should go to find more information. It appears to carry some weight because it says if the parchment is lost it can not be duplicated.

No sign of him on fmp or Ancestry. The main repository for military records is the National Archives, Kew, near London. The records themselves are not on-line though you may be able to establish whether they have nay record of him from their website.
