Mr Cornwell. As always thanks for impressive books. I must say Sharpe fan 1st always, with Starbuck close behind. Small question on are the Sharpe editions ever updated? Just reread “Sharpe’s devil” with the line “Sharpe’s 1st sea battle” With his sight seeing tour of Trafalgar, an update in his ship fighting skills would be nice. The other small thing is I now walk my dogs past the old “Cyfarthfa iron works” in Merthyr Tydfil. So important in the wars against Napoleon. Nelson paid the works a visit. I believe we even made cannons for BOTH sides of the american civil war. Cheers Rhydian
