A Fellow of the International Napoleonic Society (FINS), and a graduate of the University of Bern, he has been engaged in one of the most comprehensive investigations of the campaign ever undertaken, with the aim of providing a wealth of previously unpublished material on the various armies and contingents present during the dramatic climax to this important period of European history. He is the author of the acclaimed books of correspondence on the Hanoverian and Netherlands armies, and is currently acting as historical consultant for the BBC TV Production: 'Waterloo - The Soldiers' Stories'.
