I would suggest this parade is for Cpl Edward Dwyer, who was British and served in the 1st Battalion East Surrey Regiment? He was born in Fulham, London. He won the Victoria Cross in April 1915 at Hill 60, Ypres Salient. He was killed on 3 September 1916 on the Somme battlefield.
The other recipient of the Victoria Cross with the same surname Dwyer was Sergeant John Dwyer in the Australian Machine Gun Corps, and his gallant action for the award was in September 1917.
