Thanks very much for that I'm going to read the war diary and see if I can establish what might have happened to him.

Just to add a little bit to MaxD's excellent explanation the B'ham AV list goes beyond 1920 so if he was still in at that time he would be on it.

Thankyou everyone for your help. I did read the war diary and it seems that they returned in May 1919.

I've just received his marriage cert for 1917 and from what I can read it looks like RAMC again but I can't read what it says above this. I'm wondering if he was attached to a different unit at this time and if he was I'd like to read the war diary for this unit also.

Thanks

1st (something) FA = Field Ambulance.  Better eyes than mine needed on the "something"

PS Hopefully there isn't another number to the left of the 1 cut off in the scan???

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

Thankyou so much! He was from Birmingham so that makes sense. I'll have a look at the diary now.

What's the man's name ?
What's the marriage date ?
I can't see an MIC for a 2556 Smith.
