Dear Bernard After recently watching Last of the Mohicans (great film) and inparticular the massacre at Fort William Henry I wondered how true to life that was Did the Colonel actually get his heart cut out alive! and where there any survivors?? I also wondered whether you had ever thought about the 7yrs war???? People now call the Napoleonic wars the first world war but I wonder if that title belongs to this war. btw you have mentioned books post Napoleonic-wars ever thought of either sending Sharpe with John Colbourne to the Canadian rebellions of the 1830’s which seemed to have a lot of Napoleonic vetrans almost like there last hurrah or maybe to New Zealand and the Maori wars where the British bayonnet met its match?? P.S Just read the re-published War on the River Plate on the 06/07 Beunos Aires expeditions by Ian Fletcher its worth a read if you have not read it. Regards Geraint
