The RNR man was born 30 June 1888 in Aberdeen, the address Bennett Place comes up in his records.  He hade been in the RNR since Sep 1914 until his short lived commissioned service in 1915.

Should be simple to compare those facts with your army man and confirm or eliminate him?

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,

Yes, that confirms my suspicion that the Navy man was the same one in the Merchant Navy. Thanks MaxD!
