Mr Cornwell, In the Sharpe books whenever Lawford or Sharpe talk about how long they have known each other they always say since 1799 when Sharpe was a sergeant but I’m sure Sharpe wasn’t promoted until the end of Sharpe’s Tiger after Lawford taught him how to read and write. Please could you help with these? One more comment, in Sharpe’s company Lieutenant Price’s first name is Harold yet later on it is Harry are they 2 different people? Thank you very much your fan, Chris Horgan
