I have always liked your books, you put such details into them, earlier this year, I read one of the Sharpe books, loved it tried to read all of them , finding them in charity shops and libraries, sorry I have not brought outright, I enjoyed them all, the TV series with Sean Bean, when you read your words, it’s Sean speaking them.
I have been doing family research for a few years, I came across a great ancestor from a news article on the Welsh Newspapers on line , a John Lloyd of Brynhope, he was given the name surgeon while fighting in the French wars, I can image him in one of your books.
Many thanks and kind regards
