Just in case you don't already have it, the record of his actions that resulted in the award of the M.M. are available to download (free) from the National Archives. Though the surname is given as HINDMACH the service no and regiment are correct
https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C9078791

There is also a German Record Card of POWs which is not yet digitised so not available for download but can be seen at the NA
