I think it is a D.C.M., 1914 Star and clasp, B.W.M., Victory Medal. He was very likely a regular soldier with service before and after the Great War.
The photograph was taken in Lewisham, S.E. London, which is very likely to be his home town. A search of the London Gazette using Lewisham as the word and 31/081914 and 31/12.1920 as your date parameters should find the right candidate. There may be several D.C.M. winners from Lewisham but his 1914 Star and Clasp should help to narrow the field.
