You originally asked for a reliable source for this information. You will find that during the nineteenth century in particular some British and Irish newspapers periodically published articles entitled Stations of the British Army. These show the world wide deployment of the Army. Helpfully an American military historian spent many years collating this information (and much else besides, including data on all major armies and navies of the world going back to about 1600, and as far forward as the mid twentieth century). His research is known as the Nafziger Orders of Battle. Google it.  It's an incredible resource but it takes a while to learn how to navigate all the tables contained in it. My first response here was based on Nafziger, and the second on the British Newspaper Archive, via FindMyPast. I hope that helps answer your question.
