Dear Mr Cornwell!
I think I can say that I am a fan of your books, especially of the Sharpe series and the Uthred series. However, one thing intrigues me: In your non-fiction book about Waterloo, as well as in one of the Sharpe books, you mention that British soldiers spit their bullet into the muzzle during loading, in order to speed it up. Can you please let me know, where this piece of information comes from/is based on?
Best wishes from Germany!
