It is the WW1 era Army Service Corps badge which has been turned in to a brooch/pin.  It became a Royal Corps in 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,

Presumably yes, the centre of the badge was different post 1918 when the corps became RASC.

Do you want to give his name and any other detail you have in case records survive?
