Hi Bernard,
thank you for many years of enjoyment. I am a big Sharpe fan but have also read the majority of your books. Somewhere I read a passage about an English officer reconnoitring in the Pyrenees with only a small group of men. In the fog they stumbled across a strong French force. Fearing the worst the officer advanced and demanded the French surrender in which he was successful. I could not remember which book this appeared in so it inspired me to reread the entire Sharpe collection in chronological order in order to locate the passage. I never found it and now wonder if my memory deceives me and it never appeared in your novels at all. May you shed any light on the matter.
