Credit to Jomot who succeeded where I had failed initially to find the partial record.

Additional enquiries suggest that it may have been 38 Company MGC that he was transferred to. 6 East Lancs and 38 Coy were both in 38 Brigade.  Can't be definitive though.  There was also a 3rd Indian Machine Gun Battalion in that theatre of war.

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

You're very welcome moonshine, but all I did was find it what Max's 11-year old missed  ;D   Max is the expert at putting the meat on the bones, as you've already seen.
