Julian,
Lovely photos
The first probably dates to c. 1901 as you suspect, as he has no rank badges on his uniform, which, as a 2nd Lt. was correct upto about May 1902 when they were changed to wear one pip.
The silver bullion grenade without scroll worn on the FS Cap is typical of RGA (Volunteer) officers.
regards
