Dear Bernard, I have asked a few questions of you over the past ten years, but would like to ask one more. I have always been massively impressed by the amount of research you put in to all of your books and wondered if you could help me? I love the smaller battles of the peninsular war, and would love to see a battle map of the combats of cacabelos and lugo during the coruna campaign, and of the action at Salamonde as described in Sharpe’s Fury. Many years ago I even asked David Chandler and Duncan Anderson at Sandhurst, but they couldn’t help me. Any ideas or suggestions please??
