Not sure about your last post.

His record, for £30.00, will have his enlistment and other service dates.

The war diary, for £3.50, is very unlikely to mention him at all.  It will though add to the outline that K Garrad has given and thus give a flavour of his war.   The action on 12 October 1917 is described in some detail and started in the area of square U 12 on this link

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
