I've just tried the National Archives medal card index and got TWELVE William John Olivers. I guess eight died (and are on the CWGC site) and only four lived. That's a sobering statistic in itself.

Does the medal plaque not include his service number or regiment? I see four are in the Royal Field Artillery. Are those the four you have narrowed it down to?
