I can't find a reference on the internet to Colonel Balfour-Ogilvy's regiment but I did find him in "The Baronage of Angus and Mearns" By David MacGregor Peter
Colonel D. W. Balfour-Ogilvy of Tannadice, died at the camp before Sebastopol, suddenly of cholera, on the 12th of July 1855.
He entered the service of the Honourable East India Company in 1827, and served for 10 years in India. Colonel Balfour-Ogilvy was a member of a well-known and opulent family of Balfour of Trenaby in Orkney, a branch of the ancient and illustrious house of Balfour of Fifeshire, who, since teh reign of King malcolm Canmore, have figured in Scottish history;
and who, in various epochs have been connected with the county of Angus.
He is successed by his eldest son, the Rev. William Balfour-Ogilvy, who has turned a Roman Catholic clergyman, at present at Rome.
I have also found a refrence to him in a masonic magazine saying he attended a masonic ceremony in March 1846. It doesn't give him a rank or Regiment at that time.
Another reference on another webpage with the details of this memorial has him in the Crimea serving in the Turkish Army.
