stretcher bearer

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'person carrying the wounded' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'herbert's caterer confused' is the wordplay.
'confused' indicates anagramming the letters.
'herberts'+'caterer'='herbertscaterer'
'herbertscaterer' with letters rearranged gives 'STRETCHER-BEARER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stretcher bearer that I've seen before include "battleground auxiliary" , "ensures patient progress" , "One removing injured" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
