Dear Bernard, first of all I must apolgize for the jumbled message of my earlier post. It was meant to be British perspective during the American Revolution.#################### Btw at Albuera will Sharpe be with the Die Hards or the Fuzilier Brigade and will he be on his own with Harper or with whole South Essex??? Also will Sharpe finally find out about Astrid’s murderer Pumphery’s using of him??? And while you are right that it might be awkward it’s not impossible since I did read in Flecthers Bloody Albuera that a 60th rifleman (forgot the name) did manage to fight at both Fuentes and Albuera####### Also I can recommend British at the Gates by Robin Rielly as worth a read.
