Skiff Family Middlesex/Kent

[77777]

I am trying to find out information on my grandfather's parents and any other relatives. His name was Seymour Francis Frederick Skiff and he was in the Royal East Kent Yeomanry, regiment number 1567. He married Elsie Victoria Stephens/Stevens and had at least 13 children. One of whom was Patricia Marion Skiff born 27th August 1929 in Egypt. I would like to know where he is buried too. Thank you.
