Excerpt from Intrigues of the War: Startling Revelations Hidden Until 1922; Important Military Secrets Now Disclosed
Major-General Sir Frederick Maurice is an officer whose considered opinion on any military topic must claim the attention of the country. The son of a scientific soldier, one of the most capable lieutenants of Lord Wolseley, he has himself seen much service in the Tirah Expedition and in the South African Campaign, while in the Great War he served with the Third Division of the original Expeditionary Force in all the battles from Marne to Ypres of the year 1914, and having won promotion in the field, was at the beginning of 1915, brought in to General Headquarters to be head of the Operations Section of the General Staff, and subsequently was entrusted with important responsibilities as Director of Military Operations on the Imperial General Staff from December, 1915 to April, 1918. He was thus thrown into close relations with all the frequenters of the Debatable Land which in war lies between the ascertained territories of the soldier and the politician, and which is at times the scene of sharp contests between the two.
