The Napoleonic Period
During the Napoleonic Wars, Napoleon called upon members of the Corps des Guides-Interprètes to provide information. The Duke of Wellington had his own Intelligence staff officer, and in 1809 established an Intelligence organisation based on the scout or guide. Guide units served under a Captain of Guides, and were composed of irregular, light horsemen. Guides were locally recruited, bilingual or multi-lingual, and employed solely to collect information from their observations, and conversations with local inhabitants. British guide units also served in the 1840s during the North-West campaign in India. | ||||
