      He wanted to recognize Sharpe for a valorous act, but knew he would catch Hell from other officers because he wasn't a "gentleman."
      I get the feeling he prays that he won't get promoted AGAIN...

      ​@@karazor-el6085 It actually starts this craze for him to get promoted to a rank that just couldn't be disrespected or taken away from him. I believe by the end of the series he held the rank of Colonel and was even reffered to and respected as one even after "retiring"

      Stupid bit of trivia. Most of the cavalry of the Napoleonic Era believed that the point of the sword was the only way to deliver a killing blow, and sharpened only the first 5 or 6 inches of the blade.
      As late as 1913 Lt. George Patton (yes, that Patton) designed the US Model 1913 cavalry saber and it emphasized the thrust nearly to the exclusion of the slash.

    Its David Troughton as Wellington. Son of Patrick Troughton (2nd, and best, Dr Who)The guy who played him in the rest of the series is Hugh Fraser, very good in the role but I think Troughton is better. While Fraser looks a little more like Wellington,Troughton appears to move sound and act much more like the Peer himself.

    At 9:28 Hogan refers to the riflemen as " sharp shooters" . I could be wrong but I believe that term was not used untill the American civil war when it was used in regard to union soldiers using sharps rifles

    What a lot of people don’t realize is that if Britain had not been involved in the Napoleonic war, it is very unlikely America would have won our independence. The combination of that war and the seer logistics aided America.

    it's been awhile since I read the series - but as I recall Dick and Wellesley had met at Seringpatam and Sharpe received his battlefield commission after saving his life at Assaye correct? I assume the scene with the French dragoons at the beginning is meant to approximate that event.

    If you're watching the playlist "Sharpe episodes in cronological order, all of them" then it's NOT all of them, and it's NOT in order.
    Just so you know...

    British soldiers actually were not issued tents in this period. They curled up in their blankets and whatever they could scrounge together for shelter.

      I find his look to be more amused than disappointed. In a way I like to think it makes him see that Sharpe is different in more ways than one, but a creative soul in the face of adversity. Don't have money? You make due without. No robbery, no stealing, not even borrowing. He was likely very well aware that a Sergeant was likely to be "uneducated". Common soldiers often were. In the end, though, Sharpe showed himself far more capable than pretty much every other field officer. Both in ways of shooting and leading.

    Sharpe should have died so many times in this series that Sean Bean dies in everything else to keep the balance.

    Yea he was made a ensign in the Indian war but hey Sean Bean is amazing they can do whatever they want to these novels (which were amazing, read all Bernards stuff) and it would still be good :D
