Nairn fades away - Ross was only in the TV programmes so I'm not responsible for him, and I have an idea I killed Hogan? Can't rightly remember. Harris retired (very rich), and Baird sulked for a long time - resentful that Wellington had been promoted over his head. He went to South Africa, was in the disastrous (unauthorised) expedition to Buenos Aires, did serve for a time in the Peninsular, then retired and eventually conceded that Wellington was the better man. I can't imagine Sharpe ever sneaking on someone to get them shot - he'd do it himself.
Dear Bernard, In regard to the question from James about Hogan (18th May). You killed him off in Sharpe's Siege. He died of the fever while Sharpe was away fighting Calvet at the Test de Bush Fort. Regards Ed - (Thanks Ed!)
Hello Mr Cornwell, To answer a question put by James regarding the fate of Major Hogan (posted 18th May), he did die of the fever in 'Seige'. Sharpe went off to fight at the Teste de Buch fort thinking Jane had also contracted the fever - turned out to be a bad cold! Sharpe learned of Hogan's demise at the end of 'Seige'. Mike Woffinden
