It's available on Ancestry ;D

If you don't have a subscription, maybe your local library offers free access to Ancestry?

PS  There are service records for him on Findmypast.

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

pm sent

Service numbers on the card:
523311 RE
919 Bedf Yeo
30171 R R of Cav
523311 RE

Card stamped T.P.WAR.R.E.TPM3 (no idea what that means!)
VM and BWM - no Star, so not posted on active service until after 1915.

The TP in the stamp is actually TF (Territorial Force) and looks as if it refers to his additional service in 1919 with the Royal Engineers.  Whatever, it is an administrative stamp of no real significance.

Methinks 'tis time for me to get a bigger computer screen or new glasses!  TF it is.

It was one of those records passed through the "Make it difficult for our descendants" department in the War Office, see a lot of those  :)
