Biography:

Graeme Cooper has been battlefield guiding since 1995 and owns Cooper's Waterloo Tours, a family run business specialising in tailored tours of the Napoleonic Campaign battlefields of the Peninsular War and Waterloo for adults, and leadership training for the military.

A Fellow of the International Napoleonic Society (FINS), Graeme qualified as a Waterloo Campaign Guide with Les Guides 1815 in 1998. Graeme's interest in the Napoleonic Campaigns was sparked during his time as a cadet at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst by his tutors, the late and renowned military historians and authors, Professor Richard Holmes and Dr David Chandler.

This intrigue in the Napoleonic Wars, kept alive by a military career, has maintained his fascination in military history and a strong concern for the preservation of the Waterloo battlefield, which he first visited in 1973.

In November 2002, Graeme founded The International Guild of Battlefield Guides and was the Secretary until November 2009 when he became the first member to be elected to the Roll of Honour for his services to the Guild.

In May 2006 he formed Corporate Battlefields Ltd, a leadership training company for corporate management and has since delivered leadership learning to senior management teams from eBay, Boeing UK, Lilly, Brother, UPS, UK, HSBC and NATO’s Secretary General on battlefields including Waterloo, Isandlwana, Ypres, Somme, the Normandy D-Day Beaches and Naseby.

Graeme is married and has a son and daughter both of whom were commissioned through Sandhurst. Graeme lives in Essex and enjoys golf, photography, chess and telemark skiing.
