Gordon Corrigan was educated at the Royal School Armagh and the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. He was a regular officer of the Royal Gurkha Rifles before retiring from the Army in 1998. His last appointment was command of the Gurkha Centre in Hampshire, training recruits and running courses for the Brigade of Gurkhas, for which he was awarded the MBE. He is now a freelance military historian. He is a visiting lecturer at the Joint Services Command and Staff College, writes, conducts battlefield tours and has appeared on and presented television documentaries dealing with various aspects of military history. His published works include a history of the Indian Corps on the Western Front during the Great War and a military biography of the Duke of Wellington. He describes his hobbies as Gurkhas, horses, the Times crossword, pricking the pompous and long lunches. He has two grownup children and lives with his wife, who was a regular officer of the Women’s Royal Army Corps and Adjutant General’s Corps, in a windmill in Kent.
