If he was invalided out because of wounds he would have received the Silver War Badge which is possibly what you are thinking of.  I checked - he didn't.

  Someone wounded but able to serve on (in his case in UK) after treatment and convalescence would not receive the SWB.  There was a gold braid badge (came in brass also) called the wound stripe, an upright stripe worn on the lower left arm.

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,
