When were your ancestors in the Kings Regiment?

If you mean First World War any surviving records are filmed and can be found on the Ancestry website.

Post 1920 Service Records are still with Army and have to be applied for.

There were one or two local Territorial units which started out as battalions of the King's but were converted to artillery between the wars.
The Royal Artillery became the largest regiment during WW2, so it is a big haystack to find a needle in.
Sadly it is easier to trace someone who fell in the war.
