Thomas Fisher buried Portsmouth cemetary help please

[kat2004]

Hi all, its me again - I thought I'd make this a new thread because I need to rule out this Thomas fisher that I found on the cwgc website:
Name: FISHER
Initials: T
Nationality: United Kingdom
Rank: Private
Regiment/Service: Worcestershire Regiment
Unit Text: 1st Garrison Bn.
Secondary Regiment: Labour Corps
Secondary Unit Text: transf. to (282061) 629th Home Service Employment Coy. Date of Death: 02/08/1918
Service No: 28817
Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead
Grave/Memorial Reference: 1st Central. 22. 46.
Cemetery: PORTSMOUTH (EASTNEY OR HIGHLAND ROAD) CEMETERY

Now, I'm excited about this one on a few points; Thomas had a brother Herbert who also served with the Worcestershire Reg and he died in Gallipoli, because I wanted his records too I contacted the Worc reg and they gave me a copy of the Worc. Reg soldiers who died in the Great War records and this Thomas Fisher is NOT listed in their records, even thought he served with their Reg - Why? Could it be because he was transferred to Home Service? Could this be the reason why my Thomas is not on his local war memorial?

Please could some very kind person reading this post have a check on any references they have for this Thomas and see if we can find his home town? He was born in Burnley but live in Barrow in Furness and was married to Lucy. Thomas serverd with the Cheshire Reg and was a sargeant until 1909. In 1914 Thomas would have been 40.

I have a feeling about this one!
Thank you,
Kathryn
