Hello Bernard,
please accept my sincere thanks for your wonderful work and all your amazing books. I recently visited Badajoz, and had to read Sharpe again immediately. Without the Sharpe novels, I would never have known about the Peninsula campaign, nor any of the history of Wellington. I made a utube video to show my friends in Australia the walls of Badjoz, who are also Sharpe fans, and now they are travelling to Spain with intent to visit.
Many many thanks and warmest regards
