Unfortunately without a service record you're not going to find the answers.
If he was invalided out early even after the war ended he would have been given the Silver War Badge which he isn't listed as receiving.
He could have gone overseas anytime after Dec. 1915 as a replacement to any RE Coy.
Even if he went overseas on the last day of the war he still would have qualified for his medals.
Did he have a pre war occupation useful to the RE ?

Yes Jim

Think it's brick-wall time as R.E. point out that records all lost in bombing  by Hitler's demolition mob.

To your last question -No he is down as commercial representative just before the war.

If one day I do get to Winchester, where T.H. have some records, maybe will be able to unravel.

Snippet from 1894 Annual prize giving :

"The Cyclist were very noticeable in their attractive uniform"    - Not a good idea !

Thanks all for your help.

Best
