Hello Bernard.

I have read many of your books but my favourite is Sharpe’ Waterloo. Your book has been quoted as a definitive account of the battle.I read this book while researching my family history. My GGGgrandmother told a news reporter in the late 19th century that her father ‘was at Waterloo under Wellington’. Her father’s name was James Prior and he was a private in the Cornwall Militia.

My dilemma is  that there are no James Priors in the official lists nor any specific mention of the Cornwall Militia being present. Do you know if this Militia part of the action ?
