Hi Mr. Cornwel.

I’ve started reading your Sharpe books (Sharpe’s Tiger and Sharpe’s Triumph, and took a liking to 18th and early 19th century warfare. I have a question: where could I learn more about those drilling commands and tactics that you describe in your books? Things like: Fix Bayonets, Shoulder Arms… Was there some kind of standard manual for that?

Thanks!
