I have enjoyed reading the Shapre series of books and find them extremely interesting. I am reading Sharpe’s Regiment at the moment and was wondering if you are aware that the poem ” Rule Britania” wasn’t put to music until 1840 ish. I know that sometimes you have to mix fact with fiction and this in no way detracts from the enjoyment of the book. I was just curious to know if this was a slip up or a bit of artistic lisence? yours, jm macgregor
