Sir, I am currently researching Lt General Sir John Moore and his legacy to the military of today. I have had difficulty in finding out if he laid any of his training methods for light infantry (during his time at Shorncliffe) or if he developed tactics of his own. The modern military follows a “manoeuverist” principle and I want to see if Gen Moore could enlighten us – even from 200 years ago. I am also looking into his effect on Coalitions and Expeditionary Warfare as well as the leadership that he demonstrated. I believe him to be a much underrated and undervalued influence (out shone by Wellington) but am finding it hard to get good material to research. Cheeky I know but I would value any steers you could give me. I do think it is time to sound a “note” on this formidable leader. Yours faithfully, David C Robertson
