Greetings Mr. Cornwell, I’ve just finished reading Sharpe’s Enemy, and may I say how relieved I am that a certain someone has finally been dealt with for eternity. I don’t want to spoil anything for another reader, so I’ll just leave it at that. My question is about the origin of this character. I am assuming he specifically is fictional, but I wonder what factual stories you may have come across that support that such villains such as him existed in the British Army at the time.
