The Sharpe novels vividly portray the British army’s use of floggings to impose discipline. In a novel about the Crimean War I also noticed reference to the practice and was suprised to learn flogging was still in use in the 1850s. I was curious if you know how long this practice lasted in the British military? Looking forward to the next novel whether it be Sharpe or your new saga. Keep up the great work. Howard
