Hello (From a grateful fan)
In the historical note at the end of Sharpe's Triumph you note "...though he did promote two men for conspicuous bravery on the evening of Assaye." The “He” here is of course Wesley. I believe the first of these men would be the future Sir Colin Campbell, but who was the second? I have searched and can find lots of information on Campbell but none on the second man. Could you please tell me where I might find information about him?
Many Thanks and I can hardly wait for “The Pagan Lord”. In your free time if you could get Richard and Pat back in their boots it would be much appreciated. (Sarcasm – as I am truly in awe of your entire catalog, and wonder how you have time to respond to people like me)
All the best!Dean
I don’t remember my sources, but I’d start with Jac Weller’s Wellington in India. Sorry, I wrote the book so long ago it’s all lost in time’s fog.
