As far as I can see, Reuben was the youngest in his family and didn't have a brother Leonard??

He did, however, have a nephew Leonard Edwin Oldfield b.1905 who was the son of his brother Edwin Henry Oldfield.

Transferred to the Labour Corps in March 1917.  Served only in UK.  Discharged "no longer physically fit" due to a rupture on 17 Dec 1918.  Silver War Badge.

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,
