Abstract
Wellington's use of intelligence developed over the course of his military career. Eventually, he became a master of information exploitation, incorporating intelligence analysis into not only his own command practices, but those of his subordinates as well. By the close of the Peninsular War, military intelligence played a major role in achieving victory over the French. This article analyses the development of Wellington's use and understanding of intelligence throughout his military career, comparing his early ‘command apprenticeship’ in India in 1800, where he developed an understanding of the importance of intelligence, which he subsequently exported to, and developed, in the Iberian Peninsula.
