Hello Bernard
Just a quick question from me.
Im currently rereading Sharpe’s Company (which is as good as ever! I think that and Revenge are the best ones of that first series you did. Not that they aren’t all brilliant!) Something always bothers me though…
I know that in Rifles, Sharpe has 50 Rifles and they make up the bulk of the Light Compan of the South Essex, , but in Sharpe’s Company, you say there’s 11 left of the original 50 from 1809.
What I always wonder about is, as the years go by, does Sharpe get in new Riflemen, as the originals fade away, so the Light Company always has them, or do they not get replaced? Because then, it will be basically just Sharpe, Pat and Dan Hagmen left at the end.
Can you clarify?
Thank you
Kind regards
Matt
