hello Mr Cornwell, I am making a british carbine and Iwas wondering if you knew any sites or books that could help me in making it?

Also, I have just started to read your Starbuck series and was wondering what was the differance between the musket and tactics used at Waterloo and in the American civil war?

Lastly (sorry) why did Sharpe only rank as a Lieutenant in Waterloo? I thought he had been promised a Major’s rank in S. Seige, which leads me to ask then why didn’t he fight with the South Essesx in S. Revenge? thankyou as always, Chris
