Hello Mr.Cornwell,I have been a big fan of yours for a number of years and have read many of your book’s.I was wondering if you have ever kicked around the idea of writing a book or even a series of books based around Roman occupied Britain,as I love both English and Roman history this would be a dream come true,a person can dream anyway.

Also when Sharpe is first promoted to an officer his rank is an Ensign,is this rank still held in the army or has it disappeared,I can’t seem to find this rank anywhere,Thank you for your time,Andy Boatman
