Dear Bernard, Whilst waiting for the library waiting list for Sharpes Fury to get to me (36th on the list at the mo, you are just too popular) I was reminded of a fact about the Peninsular war, but I am not sure if I am imagining it. Apparently at one famous battle a line of british infantry charged a line of cavalry and won! If true which battle would it have been? Its the sort of hair brained scheme Sharpe would come up with. Hint, hint. Many thanks. Tarquin Hoskins
