Hello. Always enjoyed your books, in particular Sharpe’s Trafalgar. You may be interested to know that a person buried here in Western Australia appears to have not only been at Trafalgar AND Waterloo, but was also an officer in the 95th! I nearly fell over when I saw the connection, as I was aware from your book that only one person, a Spanish Marine, is actually known to have been at both battles. The officer’s name was John Molloy. Further details can be found if you google Gil Hardwick’s aussie book “The Irish RM: Capt. John Molloy of the Vasse”. Most of the book can be found online as a PDF file, and the Trafalgar/Waterloo connections are explained in the first few pages, where it claims Molloy began his military career in the RN and then changed to the Army after Trafalgar. I discovered Molloy’s grave by accident at St Mary’s Church in Busselton a couple of days ago and took a photo of the gravestone, which mentions his army career but doesn’t offer any further info on the alleged earlier naval one. As a result I can’t confirm how accurate the alleged Trafalgar attendance is- sources for Hardwick’s book may offer more. So there you go- if the story is true, the fictional Sharpe would have had a contemporary who had been to both battles. Would have made for an interesting conversation in the officer’s mess… cheers Warren Smith Western Australia
