Alfred William Fryer was born in Hertfordshire, England. Later he moved to Murray Bridge, South Australia. He worked as a labourer. Fryer enlisted in the AIF on 1 August 1917 and embarked for England on 30 October 1917 on board the Aeneas. Fryer also had a brother called George Charles Frederick Fryer who had enlisted and went to the war but sadly passed away at the age of 16 on the 1st of June 1918.
Fryer reached England on 27 December 1917. After a few months of additional training he joined his unit in France on 10 April 1918, just in time to face the brunt of the German Sprint Offensive. Apart from a short period of detachment in late July, he spent the remainder of the war with the 10th. He was discharged from the AIF while still in England in September 1919. No details of his later life are known.
