Frederick Barton Maurice
Major General Sir Frederick Barton Maurice, 1st Baronet (19 January 1871 – 19 May 1951) was a British general, military correspondent, writer and academic. He was famously forced to resign his commission in May 1918 after writing a letter to ''The Times'' criticizing Prime Minister David Lloyd George for making misleading statements about the strength of British forces in France. He also founded the British Legion in 1920, and served as its president from 1932 to 1947.
==Early life and military career==
Maurice was born in Dublin, the son of John Frederick Maurice, a British Army officer and military historian. He attended St. Paul's School and Sandhurst before joining the Derbyshire Regiment in 1892. His first overseas posting was to India in 1897–98 during the Tirah Campaign.〔 During this time, he served as aide-de-camp to his father, Major-General John Frederick Maurice.
After a promotion to captain in 1899, he fought with the Sherwood Foresters (Derbyshire Regiment) in the Second Boer War 1899–1901,〔 and was promoted brevet major in November 1900. On returning from South Africa, he entered the Staff College in 1902.〔 Later that year, he was posted to the War Office and, before 1911, promoted to major.〔〔The table of contents for vol. XI, c. 21 of ''The Cambridge Modern History'' published in 1909 shows him as already a major.〕 Two years later, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel in 1913 and transferred to the Staff College as an instructor in military history at Camberley under Robertson, then Commandant.〔〔Woodward, 1998, p11〕
