Arthur Wellesley must know who Sharpe’s father is otherwise he would never have made him officer or gazzete him Captain and then let him become Major or serve as a LT colonel with him in Waterloo. He is Quoted as saying that it is wrong to allow soldiers to join the officers mess from the ranks. He looked down on poor people as inferior. He must have been aware of his background and his father’s lineage to promote him. Am I right sir?
