Good morning,

Good one maxD, it tends to disprove my thoughts as to a possible battalion though. I'm fairly certain he is in an elcho grey uniform but the 3 I gave as possibles would have been in red if I read correctly.

Perhaps you could post the photo's on there and get their thoughts on ID as i'm not a user of that site.

Good thinking John, will do. 

Edit - already done by the OP.
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

Thank you all for your help, hopefully i will be able to find his service record now.  ;D

No Volunteer records survive other than a set for Middlesex in the National Archives. The NA recommend contacting the local Record Office as some records may have been donated.

If he later enlisted in another unit, one of the questions asked was for details of previous service. And this is where 90% of information about Volunteers comes from. So not much.

During the Boer War lots of Volunteers joined. But they were put into Volunteer Companies of regular battalions with new numbers, or the new units created for the war - Imperial Yeomanry if they could ride etc.
