Family and early lifeJohn Frederick Maurice was born in London in 1861, the eldest son of Frederick Denison Maurice, an Anglican priest, theologian and author. He was educated at the Royal India Military College, Addiscombe, and the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, and entered the Royal Artillery in 1861. CareerMaurice served as private secretary to Sir Garnet Wolseley in the Ashanti Campaign of 1873–1874; in the Zulu War in 1880; was deputy assistant adjutant general of the Egyptian expedition in 1882; and was brevetted colonel in 1885.

Later in his career he was commander of the Woolwich District until September 1902.[1] In 1905 Maurice was part of a team which went to Berlin to negotiate with the Germans on the problems of the Navy estimates and the escalating threat posed to the Empire.
