Dear Bernard

if you’re taking Sharpe back again as a 2nd lieutenant, well Wellington in 1806 was for a time in Hanover, now he didn’t do much there but Sharpe could maybe nip over to Prussia and meet the Iron Marshal and get the Battle of Auerstadt a truly extraordinary victory. Sharpe really should meet Davout at least once, what do you think they’d make of each other ?

Regards

P.S if you’ve not read it, I can recommend Gary Gallagher biography on Davout a great read. If Napoleon had listened to him the course of history might have been different
