Mr Cornwell, I’ve just finished reading Sharpe’s Havoc and a thundering good read it was too. I thought you might be interested in these bits of biographical information on Louis Etienne Dulong de Rosnay – surely this is your Henri Dulong. It seems that not only did he survive the fight at the Saltador, but rose afterwards to the rank of Lieutenant General. http://www.napoleon-series.org/military/organization/c_lightinf4.html http://users.skynet.be/6edehussards/personnages.htm Best regards, Simon Townshend
