Very impressive MaxD.
I think a mod should sticky this to the top of the board for the benefit of others.

This is a good suggestion.

All else fails, post on here, I and others only too pleased to try.

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

           The vital thing here is that the numbers on a medal record are those a man served overseas with so a man starting in UK with regiment A and transferring to regiment B before he goes overseas will have a regiment B number, clearly not the one he enlisted with.

That describes one of mine. Thanks.
