Dear Mr Cornwell, As you always seem to be answering questions about your books, I thought I would ask as to whom you think would have been capable of holding Napoleon at Waterloo if (God forbid) anything had happened to Wellington during or prior to the battle? Though the Earl of Uxbridge was the officer 2IC his speaciality was as calvary officer and did not have a great knowledge of the Infantry and Artillery arms. My own suggestion would be ‘Daddy Hill’ who had remmarkable success in an independent command in the Penninsular? Also at what battle would you of liked to have observed (at a safe distance of course) in the Napoleonic era? Thank you for all your informative novels. John Hart
