Before you rely on others to help, have you followed the advice given on The Long, Long Trail? Click on the link top left of this page and then on Researching a soldier". If you have, you would probably have found at least a medal index card. His name is not too common so it should be straightforward enough.

Was Roland his middle name?

If he was serving in 1881 it is not likely he was still in the army by 1914. You might find his record in document series WO97 at the National Archives. You will not find any military details online.
