Hi Bernard

I thought you would amused by something we saw in the visitor’s book in the museum at Vimeira: ” Sharpe has got a lot to answer for!” He certainly has! We were doing a tour of Wellington’s battle sites in Portugal. This museum claims to get 10,000 visitors a year – and Sharp never featured in that battle!

The museum has a large panoramic window overlooking  The Valley where the battle took place; and the curator gives you a running commentary on the battle. All fascinating stuff.

Kind regards

Robin

Ps love your books. Enjoyed Waterloo immensely. I thought it would be hard to read as more of a documentary, but I couldn’t put it down! I’ve often wondered what they did with all the dead after a battle. Now I know. There appear to be no marked graves on any of the battle sites we visited, apart from one for an officer in some remote location. I forget the name now.
