Ramsey soldier

My grandfather, William Thomas Christian was a Ramsey man. I have a letter written by my him in 1893 from Quetta, India. He had enlisted in the army against his parents' wishes and would have been 20 at the time the letter was written. In the letter he expressed his regrets at "listing" and by the time of the 1891 census he was back home in Ramsey.
I would like to be able to find which regiment he joined so is there anyone out there who would kindly point me in the right direction,please?

Thanks.
