John Willie Pindar is commemorated on the Thiepval memorial - and so has no known grave - Commonwealth War Graves Commission website.

I cannot see that his records have survived.
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.
He/she who never made a mistake, never made anything.

Because, as BumbleB says, he has no known grave, his date of death is recorded in the Register of Soldiers' Effects as "28 August 1917 or since -  Death presumed".  This would signify that 28 August was when he was officially reported missing and subsequently presumed to have died.  You might like to download the war diary of the battalion here for £3.50 which will show what the battalion was doing on that day and beyond.  http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C7353889  His division was involved in the fighting at Hargicourt.

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,
