    Will Sharpe succeed in his mission?

Nursed back to health by a mute young girl, Sharpe continues his search for the man who injured him - armed with a new hand-crafted blade with which to dispatch his attacker.

    On the rewatch of this, well it occurs to me that Sharpe is a sergeant in a scottish regiment in the India books, or at least in the second book IIRC but even so given how frequently he's exposed to its, he's probably been thoroughly desensitized to the pipes

    • @julianmhall

      No Sharpe was never in a Scottish regiment.. unless he was a QMS in a middle regiment.. in India he was in the 33rd 'Havercakes' which recruited in Yorkshire, then went straight AFAIK from them to the 95th Rifles. After that the small group he led were absorbed into the fictional South Essex.

      Between being a redcoat sergeant and green coat, he was a liet. in a Scottish regiment. Rules said he couldn't stay with the unit he was a serg in. This didn't work out as Scottish very very clannish and resistant to English officers and he was still learning ways of being an officer. I think it was the book Siege.

      You never get desensitised to the agony bags, quite the opposite. They are instruments of torture, the more you hear them the more you want the torture to stop. I spent 12 years as a musician in the British Army, albeit as a reservist. I remember my first beating retreat, with massed bands, pipes and drums, I thought it is wonderful. Then as the years progressed, the more I came to loathe the bagpipes.

      ​@@rock07879 At the time Scotch, Scots and Scottish were used interchangeably. It's only in recent times that people have decided, for no particular reason it seems, to get a stick up their arse about "Scotch".
      This is the reason Scotch whiskey (Scottish whiskey) is called Scotch. In chess we also have the Scotch (Scottish) game.
      "Scotch" is a synonym of "Scottish" and there's a fair chance an early 19th century Scotsman, far from objecting to it, would have used the word to describe themselves.
