Findmypast has a record for him. Served 22 years up to 1901 then Great War service in UK in the Queens Royal West Surreys, Royal Defence Corps and an agricultural company of the Labour Corps to discharge in Sep 1918.

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,

No he was 500194 in the Queens when he started again in Nov 1914.  No overseas service, no medals.
