Thanks Marilyn, looks like he was a Gunner after all.
As I said earlier its easy to assume the lads joined the "local" Regiments but it wasnt always the case. (Still can't understand how a Longhope Beard joined the Navy!).
Anyhow wrt the Biddles I wonder if my "guess" earlier is also true wrt his brother, namely,
"There are a few "Thomas W Biddle"s listed, wasnt a Gunner by any chance ?."

Re WW1 tonight's "Celebrity Antiques Hunt" on BBC2 with Phil Tufnel et al has just been showing some of the commemorative plaques etc as issued to families of fallen heros. Worth looking on the BBCiPlayer for. Also on "Yesterday" these last few days the repeats of "My Family At War" programmes from a few years back. All deeply moving, should be on the school mustview syllabus in my opinion.
