Can anyone help me with a little information regarding the picture of my grandad like what sort of job he may have done in the army
All I know is that it was world war II

The angle of the badge on his head dress makes it a little difficult but my best guess is a fusilier regiment, possibly Royal Fusiliers thus he was an infantryman, a sergeant by his stripes.

If you wanted you could apply for his records subject to the conditions, the process is here:

You don't need his service number as long as you have his date of birth (among the other requirements).

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,
