Dear Mr Cornwell.
I really enjoyed the Sharpe series but one thing does puzzle me, above all else. That is the etiquette during war is often displayed in extremes. One minute it is by the book to an extreme and the next anarchy. I am sure that in any war this is true but some of the characters displayed both traits within in the same story and I wonder how this is rationalised. I appreciate that it is fiction and the author has the licence but it is a dichotomy that I didn’t always understand. Oh, what happened to Sharpe’s daughter?
Many thanks
Glen Bertram
