Dear Bernard

In terms of lists of great commanders, I wonder if you would place either Isaac Brock or Guy Carelton on the list or whether you consider either a great general ?

Carelton does seem to have a lot in common with Wellington. Both Protestant Irish Aristocrats, both never lost a battle with small forces, both understood the importance of getting the local population on side.

In fact I wondered if you had ever thought of the American attack on Quebec for a book ?

Also in regards to your Archer novels, will you ever write about the later part of the Hundered Years War. As a way to go have old man Nick Hook screaming defiance at the Battle of Formigny (against 2 French Armies) would seem kind of apt.

Finally in regards the Elizabethan series will it involve the campaigns in Ireland as the battle of the Yellow ford is said to be the greatest Irish victory against an English Army.

Yours sincerely

Geraint

P.S If you have not read it I reccomend A Matter of Honour a military biography by Jonathon Riley on Brock.
