Thanks for answering my question about the village of Barrosa, mentioned in the background of Sharpe’s Fury. I know about the beach and that there is a resort there now. I was informed of this by the Spanish Tourist Board. But I don’t think there was a village there in 1811. I’m only saying this because I could find no trace of it in any of the accounts of the action (Oman etc) I read. There was a watchtower and some ruins bearing Barrosa in their names but nothing else was mentioned. It doesn’t matter really, I suppose, but I’m pleased my research was correct and I had not missed it. I usually research as many accounts, if not more than I need, in order to be as accurate as you can about anything. I’m very pleased to hear that there will be another Sharpe book in the future. It will certainly be on my list and can’t come quick enough. Have you any ideas for the background action to the narrative? Do you mind if I suggest Fuengirola 1810 or Campo Mayor 1811. I think these actions have great scope for some very interesting Sharpe-like characters, especially Fuengirola. I would love one based around that action, although some of your fans may not favour it because the French and Polish won, although heavily outnumbered. They should have lost and that’s why the events and characters involved, on both sides, really jump out at you. I can well imagine Sharpe there fuming against the Allied commanders and, as an author, I think you’d have a field day. My apologies for going on but I did have on video, the documentary series covering The Peninsular War which you narrated. I consider it best Napoleonic documentary series produced, to date. But the tape was accidentally ruined beyond repair. I wondered if you knew if there were any plans for the series to be repeated? Thanks again for taking the time to reply to my questions. Much appreciated. John Walsh (Sr)
