Under normal circumstances, before WW1, they would destroy the records of a man who died while serving. They had also stopped using muster books 15-20 years before, so the military records available are a bit limited. You should still check Findmypast in case there was a miss file.
I cannot find him in the Boer War medal rolls, so other than finding when he enlisted by finding when a nearby number enlisted, I do not think there are any military records to help you.
According to FindMyPast they have Indian BMD records that suggest he was Francis H and also known as Frank.
