Maxwell was the son of Thomas "Tom" Irvine (1864 - 1926) and Isabel Emma "Elsie" nee Daniel (1877 - 1926) Brown, and husband of Evaline Ellen Brown.
Aged only 27 years old, and a Pilot of the Australian Air Force, he was killed on 8 October 1941 when for some unknown reason the aeroplane he was piloting malfunctioned over the south-eastern corner of Bintang, about 40 miles south-west of Singapore.
As Japan had not as yet declared War, he could not have been shot down by a Japanese fighter pilot, or any other military action.
He is commemorated in Australia at the Australian War Memorial, Canberra, A.C.T.
"At the going down of the sun
And in the dawning
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM"
