Well what can I say Bernard but many thanks for a great journey through history. I myself am ex Royal Australian Navy (Able Seaman Quartermaster Gunner) and I also enjoy all the Alexander Kent novels as well. You do a great job. I have nearly the whole collection of the Sharpe series in book form as well as what has appeared in our local TV here in Australia. Our family are of Scottish / English heritage and I am an avid history person so your books are very enjoyable, keep up the good work………..Ken
