Dear Mr. Cornwell, My husband and I are great fans, have read and re-read all your Sharpe Books. 19th Century British Military history has long been a favorite subject and you truly bring it to life. In several place you refer to the “foot wraps” used. In the uniform lists I’ve seen (granted they are not extensive) I’ve only seen stockings listed. Were the wraps standard issue or anemergency item? Also I’ve been searching for “The Sharpe Companion” and I find it listed as “Volume one, The early years” or just as The Sharpe Companion. Can you clalify for me if it is the same book with a subtitle or was more than one volume written? Thank you for the many hours of great reading. As my husband is an army veteran (of 50 years ago), he has really enjoyed and apreciated your wonderful books. Especially the references to the Riflemen. Roberta Parker
