Brigadier General Philip Maud CMG, CBE (8 August 1870 – 28 February 1947)[1] was an English officer of the British Army, who is most notable for setting the Maud Line, an imaginary border in Kenya, which set the original position of the disputed Ilemi Triangle.

[2] Maud was dispatched as part of an expedition, organised by Archibald Butter, to survey the region and return information to allow Sir John Harrington to enter discussions with the Ethiopian Empire.

[4] In 1904, Maud addressed the National Geographic Society with his notes on his time in British East Africa spent in the area.

In the 1890/91, he was approached by William Percy Carpmael to join his newly formed invitational touring team, the Barbarians.

Despite the loss, the English selectors kept faith with the team, and Maud was reselected for the second game of the tournament against Ireland.
