I am Soldier in the 33rd of foot that Sharpe started his career in. In your wonderfully written books he is a London orphan though in the series he is a Yorkshire man. We only recruit from Yorkshire would you have written a Yorkshire man in your books with hind site. We are very proud of our affiliation with Sharpe and he earned his commission saving our Colonel. As a you know we were the Duke of Wellingtons Regiment. I would just like to say that i will wait in agony for the fifth book of Saxons tales. Iain Perkins
