Dear Bernard

Napoleon once said that if he had 2 Suchets he not only would’ve conquered Spain but kept it too. I wondered what your own opinion on Suchet was ?

Have you ever been tempted to send Sharpe up against him ?

Adam who was a big name at Waterloo Commanded the Light Brigade on the Eastern front and apparently there were Redcoated Light Infantry Units that carried Rifles in that force too

Geraint

P.S if you’ve not read it I can recommend Wellington’s Eastern Front by Nick Liscomb on the British East Coast Operations against Suchet
