Service records for any personnel serving after 1920 are still with (and only available from) the MOD :-\

See: https://www.gov.uk/get-copy-military-service-records

You'll need his death certificate, and £30 ;D

The date on the memorial and the likely location of the 5th Division, to which 245 Field Company belonged, strongly suggests that the poor chap lost his life  fighting well inland in the rearguard whose task was to defend a corridor through which the rest of the army could pass to the beaches. The war diary is at the National Archives but is not digitised.  Can't find a history of the 5th Division 1939-40.

I am Zoe Northeast, granddaughter of Maximilian Double.
 
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,
Zoe

When applying for service records the MOD do not require you to provide a death certificate if the subject died serving.
