re Sharpe I’ve seen the Tv series, bought full set of cds and read Sharpe’s skirmish, christmas,triumph,tiger, fortess,trafalgar and could not put them down until they were finished. Now my question is when and where did Sharpe get his promotion from the ranks. Was it in India as in the book saving Wellesley life or in cd version in france/spain? Would be grateful for your response. still will carry on reading the rest of great books please give us sharpe books. many thanks Norman now a Sharpe collector. Norman Scott
