Hi, I have just finished reading Sharpe’s Escape, excellent, but a slimmer book than usual? Or maybe I read them too fast. Just a couple thoughts. Lieutenant Bullen of 9 Company. I thought the usual battalion had the Light Company, Grenadier Company(when will they start throwing those damned grenades) and the others numbered 1-8? Wouldn’t it have been better introducing Lieutenant Harry Price, or better yet, putting Knowles back in the company? And Major Leroy, in fine form. However, in Sharpe’s Company, didn’t he tell Sharpe the new Colonel had brought a new major in, at the same time as a new Light Company Captain? Looking forward to more Sharpe action and The Last Kingdom. Adrian.
