"You know by now the sad news that awaits you. It is very hard for you. How I have thought about you all. If you remember there were four of us at Cambridge, well I am the only one left. Poor Leonard, Cox and Stillwell all went in about 5 minutes. We went into action about 4.45 on the morning of 25th of September and I lost all three chums by 5 o'clock. It was very hard for me. We brought Leonard back and buried him peacefully. I cannot tell you how I felt. His wish was that he would meet you in a better land. I hope it will soon be over. Bear up as much as you can ... remember me to Mr Maunder I hope I shall be with you all again soon.

PS Since waiting to post this letter your letter has come to hand with two packets of fags. I am returning the letter."

An extract taken from the London Gazette, dated 8th March, 1901, records the following:- 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. This Officer went out on five different occasions and assisted to bring in two guns and three limbers, one of which he, Captain Humphreys, and some Gunners, dragged in by hand. 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 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.
