Perhaps it's just my inner historian talking, but Simmerson always reminded me of the American officer, James Wilkinson. A veteran of three wars, (Revolution, NW Indian, & 1812) but by no means a gentleman or one of honorable character. He was nothing more or less than an deceitful opportunist, a liar, a invalid, and a traitor to the young nation.

I find it amazing how Sean Bean is perpetually pidgeonholed into exactly two roles: that of the foreign traitor/badguy or Richard Sharpe, where he plays the dour-faced, serious, but honorable and forthright soldier. Which character he is generally depends on if the film was made by Americans or not.

I love how Wellington is adamant about not wanting to lose Sharpe after Hogan says "We might lose a gallant officer". A Lieutenant being of more worth to the General than a Colonel is. Of course I know that the books have Sharpe rescuing Wellington in a much more spectacular manner, but still remains that he respects the man far more than he does a Colonel. A man that can "only" bring victories being more important than one who brings money. Then again, victory IS money.

Yup, the dark green uniforms were inherited from the German Jagers, who started using light riflemen a considerable while before the British did. Many Hanoverian officers and soldiers fled to Britain to escape Napoleon's occupation. That, and dark green uniforms make a lot more sense for light infantry than red ones do.

Sharpe in the books was tall and black-haired, which is hardly the image of a Cockney man frankly. I could just as well have described Benedict Cumberbatch. Sean Bean's not a bad replacement, because the Cockney thing is thanks to a strong association with Cockey accents as being working-class Londoners, but his Northern accent is equally associated with working-class folks.

The maggots they used then were from black blow fly. They've used MT at VGH recently... Studies show hydrogels work just as well and are as cost-effective...

In the Army a commission could be bought, and the officer didn't necessarily have to be able to do much beyond sit a horse and look good in a uniform. Naval officers were commissioned as Lieutenants at 18, if they could pass an exam in seamanship and navigation, though they may have been at sea first as boys and then as Midshipmen from as young as 8.
