If you have Ancestry he is indexed as William Thomas TS-7864, served as Driver ASC, Theatre 1, first entry 23/9/15.

The TS prefix is for (Horse) Transport section, Special Enlistments, usually for men with a specific related trade. Unless his service record has survived, or AVLs etc, finding which Company he was in will be difficult. I would guess that he enlisted April / May 1915.
