His service record has not survived the WW2 bombing but from his medal record we can say:

Served first with the 8th or 9th Battalion Munsters, landing in France on 19 Dec 1915.  Both these battalions were disbanded in 1916 and the men moved to 1st or 2nd Battalions

Transferred at some time to the Labour Corps after its formation in 1917.  It may be possible to work out when he transferred from his Labour Corps number more work needed!).

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,
