THE LIFE OF SIR STANLEY MAUDE LIEUTENANT GENERAL K.C.B., C.M.G., D.S.O.

1-247810

Lieutenant General Maude is perhaps unfortunately mostly remembered for his part in the evacuation of Gallipoli. During the evacuation, Maude worked hard to ensure that Headquarters Kit was evacuated, whether by this he meant the headquarters paperwork or his personal kit is unknown, but he arrived at the beach just minutes before the last boat left. This pushes into the background his service in the Boar War, as well as his brigade command at the beginning of the first world war in France, and then his hard work in Mesopotamia leading to the recapture of Kut and Baghdad in 1917.
