Amazing how she takes the moral highground when he is found out to be copying poetry. Where meanwhile she was bursting to take her top off a minute before. She's just the worst.
Calvet is actually portrayed in a positive light. He generally cares for his troops as you see in Sharpe's Siege. And he teams up with Sharp to help get French gold back that helps aquite Sharpe later on.
I think the whole point of Empire-waisted dresses was to emphasize the bust, rather than the actual waist. Empress Josephine was rumored to be somewhat thick round the middle, but had a lovely decolletage. Hence the style.
yeah, i got it to work on my other computer but not on my laptop...weird and quite annoying considering that they are 8 feet apart..thanks for posting sharpe..this is fantastic
No not really. Wellington did care for his men as evidenced by the time he wept for his men during the Siege of Badajoz and other examples where he wished to spare his men. The quote you're thinking of was said in anger when his men broke ranks to loot, but when he calmed down he later said "the scum of the earth; it is really wonderful that we should have made them to the fine fellows they are".
I like the French general. Such a funny guy. He probably eats so much because he's compensating for the campaign in Russia. Never again! he must be thinking...
The melody is "The British Grenadiers". But the lyrics are from a song called "Gentleman Soldier" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XDsczbAl440.html&ab_channel=Anglo-WelshProductions
The Gentleman Soldier It was probably written nearly 100 years later. Wouldn't suprise me if John Tams adlibed it when asked for a song. He also recorded a short version of it. Below is a longer version recorded by Irish folk band The Dubliners. John Tams might well of heard their version first. But the song was first written about in 1907 as having originated 'at camp', so was probably composed by some Victorian Grenadier? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fW1S7k_ivXg.htmlsi=trL4OdqDZDQJCYl9

@@Hilts931 Exactly, the navy saluted with their palm facing towards their own face, so the back of the hand is what was seen. In the army the palm was/is brought up and faced away from the face. So open.
I just want to know.. Is harris gay or just a hounest gentleman? For they chose him to guard thy fair maiden. And please dont be angry for how i ask for i mean no offense towards gay people. I respect them all equally.
He was confined to camp by the MP for the alleged murder of the gypsies. Sharpe was assigned as the officer responsible. He put him in his household, knowing his wife had wandering eye and liked the soft-handed types.
It actually happened alot, the duke of wellington didn't care for his men, he thought they were scum. When Napoleon and most other french generals really cared for there men and many of the french officers were raised from the ranks so they had combat experience and bravery, which alot of british officers did not have.
