I’ve just finished my second read through all your Sharpe books and loved them, better than the first time! I am curious about the unusual mention of my home town, Toronto, in Sharpe’s Devil. When I was young we always said “… from (?) to Timbuktu” but you have Major Miller say “.. from here to Toronto.. ” I wonder was it a common expression at that time to say that? or was it simply a nice alliterative?
