Transcribing Spanish Civil Guard notes for 1915 (note 3 of 3)

Question

For the year 1915 in my great-grandfathers Civil Guard records there are three entries.

Here is the third note:

I think I have managed to trabscribe this note correctly. See what you think:

Finió el año prestando en servicio en el puesto de Algaidilla.

El Comandante Mayor

Translation

The above translates as:

He ended the year on duty at the Algaidilla post.

The Major Commander

See if you agree. Thanks!

I agree with the translation but the transcription should be

Finió el año prestando sus servicios en el puesto de Algaidilla.
El Comandante Mayor

Bonus: There is a town in the province of Málaga named Villanueva de Algaidas. It's not related with the place in Seville named Algaidilla (Little Algaida) apart from sharing the same word taken from ancient arab algaida.

According to the DLE

algaida

adj. And. Cubierto de ramas o paja. (Covered by branches or straw)

Just a curiosity.

Thanks. That refinement (now made at my end) produces a slightly different translation: He ended the year serving at the Algaidilla post. I suppose this latter translation is more accurate? – Andrew Truckle Aug 17 '21 at 07:48
