I first enjoyed the Sharpe series on PBS, now I am reading the first Sharpe book (Sharpe’s Tiger) The book is great! I have not had the time or interest to read in a few years, now it’s hard to put the book down. It’s very exciting to me because my GG Grandfather was Lieutenant James Todd of the 73rd Regiment and was in the battle of Seringapatam 26 april 1799 and was wounded but recovered to become a Captain of the 33rd 4 January 1800. He was promoted to Major 3 December 1810. He retired a Major 4 February 1818. I am still researching my other Family members and their Military Historys. I am finding that my Family has a lot of British Military History. I love your books and they make me proud. Thank You for your work! Sincerely Charles Thomas Todd.
