Thanks for your posting Mike and clarifying things, that's some good work by you and David !

Oddly enough the very first hit I found off this website, from the suggested 1888 birth date, was for an Alfred, yet the Medal seller seemed to have done his research so I didn't want to discount his beliefs. I did try to research the Military records on Ancestry but there were so many possibilities, hence my limited post. It didnt help me that even when searching his Army number I struggled to find the correct Medal Card on Ancestry.

Judging by the amount of Freds and Alfreds within the family, I'm a little surprised Alfred Oliver was known as Fred, rather than say Oliver, but not for me to query of course.
Main thing is the truth has come out, whuich us really great, and I do hope it's been of help. I only found the photo while "googling" the name, fancy you being the cameraman Mike !

Happy New Year to all Vurristers and Vurrinners by the way !
