Finding out which Regiment?

I have recently been given a letter from my Grandfather which has a number on next to his name and GNR.

How can I find out with regiment he belonged to by his number? All the sites I have found list the regiments Alphabetically.

Welcome Hedwig,
Could that be Gnr as in 'Gunner', as in Royal Artillery?
This thread might help with the number:
