Hi Bernard, I really enjoy your material. I was reading your bio and noticed that you were born in London, moved to Essex, and now live in the USA. Well, I have followed the same path in life. I was born in Islington, moved to Hornchurch (Essex), and now teach English in a Kentucky High School. I was wondering where abouts in Essex you lived, and whether this influenced Sharpe’s South Essex Regiment? and also, whereabouts in the US did you settle. Take care, Eddie
