Dear Mister Cornwell,

I study history at the University of Mainz (Germany), now I´m writing at my master degree. Subject are the german soldiers at Peninsular War, at both sides.
I read your book Sharpe’s Enemy some years ago. You wrote about the christmas tree of the german soldiers. Is that scene fiction of you, or could you please be so kind and reveal your source of german soldiers with christmas trees in Peninsular War?
Kind regards,
Yours faithfully
Bernd Lawall
