Hello again Mr. Cornwell: I need a bit of help. Im devising the framework of new novel, and need a bit of advice. I just wanted to know, if you remember back to Sharpes Tiger he was in the good old 33d of foot regiment. My question is, was Sharpes Company within the 33d entirely fictional or did slot your men into a real Company and just give a real Capt. Morris the traits you desired? My debate on the issue is Im not sure if I want to slot my character into the Irish Jasper Greens (A Company out of Georgia) or create my own. My debate centers around the new villain Im creating. A Nativeist Lt. (Im not sure if I should transplant him in IJGs or not..but I would have a hard time explaining why a non-Irishman was serving in a Irish Company..) Do you have any thoughts or suggestions? Another thing I have worked out is one of his buddies is an ex-Napoleonic War veteran from Scotland. Were there any Scotsman in the 95th or 60th Rifles (I chose the two regiments out of homage to you, as your books sparked my muse for military writing. I am forever in your debt, sir.) If not, can point me toward some rough and tough Scottish line infantry units? Most thankfully and sincerely, Adam Azzalino
