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

I'm really unsure.... Fred Rodgers married Elsie Hague 1908. My Fred enlisted in about 1915... And finished service 19th January 1919. He was a grenadier guard. When I wrote to birdcage walk. The archivist capt.Horne did mention that service no!!!.
Can anything else be found out about him?
 Of 25 yrs later I'm still no wiser of what he did in the war or when.
The only photo I have of him is at the beginning of the thread.

Thank you so much.xxx
