Royal Horse Artillery

Hello,
My great grandfather Albert Frederick Puxty (born 1868 Ticehurst, East Sussex), served in the Boer War, his marriage licence describes him as 'late gunner, Royal Horse Artillery'. The family story is that he was a Sgt Major, although now I've found this reference to his marriage licence, I suspect this may be a myth!
Wondered if anyone else had any links to the Royal Horse Artillery in the Boer War who could give me some pointers on where to start looking for his military record? I think I need more information than this, eg his regiment, before I can search with any hope of success - is this true? How would I find out his regiment, it seems to be a bit of a needle in a haystack?!
