  • Frederick Maurice (* 19. Januar 1871 in Dublin; † 19. Mai 1951 in Cambridge) war ein britischer General im Ersten Weltkrieg. Der Sohn des Generalmajors John Frederick Maurice entschied sich wie sein Vater für die militärische Laufbahn . Frederick Maurice absolvierte die St. Paul's School und die Militärakademie von Sandhurst und trat 1892 ins Derbyshire Regiment ein. Zwischen 1897 und 1898 diente Frederick Maurice im Stab seines Vaters. Im Burenkrieg wurde er lobend erwähnt und im Alter von 29 Jahren zum Major ernannt. Nach seiner Rückkehr in die Heimat gehörte er unter anderem dem Stab von Sir Douglas Haig im War Office an. 1913 wurde Frederick Maurice, so wie zuvor sein Vater, Lehrer am Military Staff College in Camberley und befreundete sich dort mit Sir William Robertson.
