William Siborne was a notable 19th-century British military historian, best known for his comprehensive work on the Napoleonic Wars, particularly on the Battle of Waterloo. Born in 1797, Siborne distinguished himself not only as an author but also as a model-maker. His most recognized contribution to military history is 'The Waterloo Campaign, 1815', published in 1844, which has been esteemed for its detailed analysis and use of first-hand accounts. In his pursuit of accuracy, Siborne corresponded with veterans of the battle and significantly revised his views based on their input, leading to debates over his interpretations. Despite criticism from supporters of certain military figures, notably the Duke of Wellington, Siborne's book earned respect for its rigorous approach to military scholarship. His meticulous production of a large-scale model of the Waterloo battlefield, commissioned by the British Army, further attests to his dedication to understanding and teaching military tactics and history. Siborne's legacy persists in the thoroughness of his research and his efforts to provide a factual narrative of one of history's most pivotal battles, influencing later historiography in the field of Napoleonic studies.
