Hi Bernard, Have you read Mark Urban’s ‘Rifles’? I’m just finishing it, and highly recommend it. It’s an excellent history of the 1st Battalion, 95th Rifles from 1809-1815. By the way, I’ve never been a great fan of naval history, always prefering army histories/stories, but your ‘Sharpe’s Trafalgar’ made me go out and buy Patrick O’Brian’s ‘Master and Commander’, the first of the series featuring Captain Jack Aubrey and his friend, naval surgeon and intelligence agent Stephen Maturin. I’m now on the 15th book of the 20 book series, and, like your books, can’t read them quickly enough to see what happens. David Coates
