Hi Bernard, I am mid way through Sharpe’s Battle and I am very interested in the Loup character. Basically, is he real or not? I love the idea of French troops running about like Wolves! I can’t find any info on him! also, looking through your Q&A section you mentioned another Sharpe Book…However in your notes at the end of Sharpe’s…(Sorry can’t mind the name, the one where Napoleon dies and Cochrane in it)you mention, to paraphrase “it is time for Sharpe, like others of his time, to fade into history…” I took this as meaning that there would be no more from Sharpe, am I wrong? Cheers Franny
