Hi Bernard,

Was great to see your snippets leading up to the release of Sharpe’s Assassin (I’ve just started it).

I’m writing to ask why Sharpe (now a Lt Col) would address Major Vincent as “sir” and why he wouldn’t  rake Vincent for addressing Sharpe by name?

Also just a gentle prodding reminder you agreed to name a character “Allyn” haha Many many thanks for the years and years of entertainment, always a pleasure to escape into a new Cornwellian adventure and I am devouring this latest one at a pace!

Allyn

I have just finished Sharpe’s assassin and was amused when Sharpe admonished Major Morris for calling him colonel instead of sir, in the Household Cavalry all ranks address Lt. Colonels and above by by their rank and not sir, this has led to problems when members of the regiments are deployed to other units.
