hello Mr Cornwell. In Sharpe’s Havoc just as Oporto has been recaptured, you talk about Wellington having a meal ‘which had evidently been cooked for Marshall Soult’. Am I being ignorant or was Wellesley not yet Duke of Wellington until 1814? Small wonderings such as these can keep me awake for weeks! I don’t mean to doubt you as I am a great fan of your work and I look forward to all of your novels. Oh, and by the way, it was great to read of the Northamptonshire regiment which is where I am from.
