He is unlikely to have fought in the war.  His service in the Welsh Regiment was in all probability in a home based garrison battalion many of which formed the basis of the Royal Defence Corps.

One of their tasks was the guarding of POW and internment camps which would explain the Isle of Man.

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 answer to your original question is:   Yes!

The UK Government at the time considered the Isle of Man as "theirs". So Home
BUT the Isle of Man has never been part of UK, GB, or England! So Away!
