I am a keen reader of the Sharpe novels, and all things to do with the Napoleonic Wars. As I am a resident of Hampshire, I am interested in the history of the Hampshire Regiment, and their role around the time of the Peninsular war, and beyond. I know that they did not have a major role in the Peninsular war. In fact, if my knowledge is correct, they only took part in one major battle, that which took place at Barossa. What interests me more is the new Sharpe film set in India, as I know that the South Hampshire’s were in India during the 3rd Maharatta War. Do you think that they will get a mention in the film as it would be great to see Sharpe fighting alongside them, and is there scope for Sharpe to have further adventures in India after Sharpe’s Challenge?
