Finally thought to look up the ODNB article, though this is a subscription source, most British library users will find that they have access online via their library service's subscription - check your concil webpages for details. This reference does not support the claim that he served in every rank on his way from private to field marshal, only that he was the first British soldier to do so (he doesn't ever seem to have been RSM for example, only Troop Sergeant-Major). I've also made a start on using the London Gazette to reference commissions, decorations, senior appointments etc, by finding the ref for his DSO. More here http://www.gazette-online.co.uk/searchresults.aspx?GeoType=London&st=adv&sb=date&exact=William%20Robert%20Robertson&pg=1 - searching on initials only, rather than full forenames will probably find others.
