Wellington

[edit]

How about wellington? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.94.103.230 (talk) 03:28, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article is missing most of the characters from the Indian novels - although I think Col. Brand was created specially for T.V., Major Joubert appears in 'Sharpe's Fortress', as do Anthony Pohlmann and William Dodd.

[edit]

I have noticed in reading articles relating to the Richard Sharpe Series, their have been numerous names of battles that contradict other articles and the books, for example in one article when refering to the battle in which the South Essex lost it's colour it said it was the battle of "torecastro" when in the main article about the series it is referred to as the battle of "Valdeclasa" and in the book most of all it is referred to as "Valdeclasa". It is my view that all articles should be the same with this kind of content, so which facts should be kept and which should go? LordLewery (talk) 19:43, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Daniel Hagman's basis

[edit]

I think I know what he was basised on, it was Rifleman Joseph Almond in real life, but why not write that, I know it isn't confriemed but I read a book and Almond was a Chesterchrie man like Hagman, but Almond was killed at Cudiad Rodrigo, and exictued for disertion, I think that was what he came from, 203.97.114.146 (talk) 21:20, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speculation and original research

[edit]

There seems to be a lot of speculation and original research going on here, and some mistakes are creeping in. For instance Bullen actually first appears in Sharpe's Escape and is a Lieutenant, not an Ensign when he is captured. Dunarc (talk) 20:53, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sharpe's second wife

[edit]

According to this article, both Jane Gibbons and Teresa Moreno are Sharpe's second wife. Strange, isn't it? --JoanFine (talk) 21:30, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Teresa should be first. Maybe someone thought he married Lady Grace Hale? Dunarc (talk) 20:45, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lossow reappearing after sharpes sword

[edit]

Captain Lossow is appearing towards the end, of the short-Story "Sharpes Skirmish" wich is set after the Events of "Sharpes Sword". The article states that it is not clear wether he survived the attack at the end of sharpes sword. It's pretty obvious he hid, as far as "Shapes Skirmish" is counted as canon. Should it be adapted? 2003:C0:6F0F:57BE:35FF:F2A5:1AF7:647 (talk) 22:03, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hagman's death

[edit]

The sharpshooter seems to have died from two very different injuries at Waterloo. Was he fatally shot in the chest, then dying in Sharpe's arms, or did he die instantly from a headwound? Atypicaloracle (talk) 00:42, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In the novel Waterloo, Hagman dies in Sharpe's arms. Sharpe offers to bring him to the surgeons, and Hagman's last words are "Bugger the surgeons". 172.89.22.50 (talk) 16:52, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pierre Roger Ducos

[edit]

It appears that there is at least some historical basis for the character of Pierre Ducos. Refer to this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Ducos 172.89.22.50 (talk) 16:52, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
