From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

W.B. Maxwell

William Babington Maxwell (1866–1938) was a British novelist. He was a son of novelist Mary Elizabeth Braddon.

Though nearly 50 years old at the outbreak of the First World War, he was accepted as a lieutenant in the Royal Fusiliers and served in France until 1917.

He wrote The Last Man In, a drama, produced March 14, 1910, at the Royalty Theatre, Glasgow, by the Scottish Repertory Company; and, with George Paston (i. e., Emily Morse Symonds), a farce, The Naked Truth, which was first played at Wyndham's Theatre, London, in April, 1910, and in which Charles Hawtrey played Bernard Darrell.
