The first is his transfer to the Royal Engineers on the date given.

Don't immeduatley recognise the others, what was his nema/number (easier if we have the original to look at.

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,

The remaining hieroglyphics are characteristic of administrative notations that meant something at the time in dealing with his records.

 What they are not is any help in finding his service record which I imagine is what you are after.  These will still be held by the Ministry of Defence and can, subject to the terms, be applied for :
