==Early life and military career==

By early March 1900 the British had captured the two capital cities of the Boer republics, and the war entered a new face with a Boer [[guerrilla warfare|guerrilla]] campaign to hit the British supply and communication lines.

Maxwell was 28 years old, and a [[lieutenant]] attached to Roberts's Light Horse during the [[Second Boer War]] when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC:

On 31 March 1900 at [[Sanna's Post]] (aka Korn Spruit), South Africa,
{{quote|Lieutenant Maxwell was one of three Officers not belonging to "Q" Battery, Royal Horse Artillery, specially mentioned by Lord Roberts as having shown the greatest gallantry, and disregard of danger, in carrying out the self-imposed duty of saving the guns of that Battery during the affair at Korn Spruit on 31st March, 1900.

He also went out with Captain Humphreys and Lieutenant Stirling to try to get the last gun in, and remained there till the attempt was abandoned.

During a previous Campaign (the [[Chitral (princely state)|Chitral]] Expedition of 1895) Lieutenant Maxwell displayed gallantry in the removal of the body of Lieutenant-Colonel F. D. Battye, Corps of Guides, under fire, for which, though recommended, he received no reward.<ref>{{London Gazette|issue=27292|page=1649|date=8 March 1901}}</ref>}}

As commander of the 12th Middlesex, and later of the [[27th Infantry Brigade (United Kingdom)|27th Brigade]] of the [[9th (Scottish) Division]], Maxwell came to be regarded as one of the finest combat commanders serving in the [[British Army]] on the [[Western Front (World War I)|Western Front]].
