I think Vanguard is the right transcription as we yesterday found one of my husband's grandmother's brothers aged 17 with the same occupation. We did download the image and for him it says "Vanguard G W R London". I assume GWR is Great Western Railway, and he was employed to guard the vans, maybe mail vans or some other valuable cargo.
He was living in Barking, Essex. Hope this helps.:D Carolyn
