As the ggggrandson of Lt Henry Wilkinson, (Waterloo Medal) 40th Reg of Foot, I have found the Sharpe series fascinating as it has brought my ancestors life alive. From my early research it appears his Regt (and possibly him) was with Sharpe all the way from Portugal !!

Is there a way of researching Regt records to discover more about his service?

I am a tragic I am rereading all your books while awaiting your next gem
