The battalion war diary can be downloaded free at the moment at
http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C7353852 .  The action in which he lost his life is described in some detail and can be related to this map and image which shows the area north of Le Cateau where it took place essentially around the river running north west from Montay:

 (the cemetery in which he lies is at Montay)

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
