In the books, the senior officer in the 95th Rifles isn't killed but is captured and makes an appearance in Sharpe's Waterloo where Sharpe outranks him because Sharpe is a staff officer for the Prince of Orange
Very fine in every manner; acting, props, locations, editing, continuity and plot. The actresses are gorgeous. The tease is done to perfection. Lighting is always perfect. Plot never fails, and it is a "Period" depiction performed superbly by all. Thank you. Excellent Theater.
During the Napoleonic era, British Rifle and Light companies were trained on how to deal with attacking cavalry if they were caught by them out in the open. If deployed as skirmishers they would form groups, of two to three or more, stand back to back with one man loading while the others in the miniature square would fire. Unless the enemy cavalry were armed with lances and the Rifle/Light men didn't panic, they could at least put up a good enough fight to survive and perhaps move to more covered terrain, like Sharpe's men were on the hillside.
Yea, and also never fire from behind cover of any kind. No trees, no holes in the ground, no shields, no camouflage. This is the sloppiest desire to survive or win I've ever seen.
The actual first eagle captured in the Peninsular War was by Ensign Keogh and Sergeant Masterson of the 87th (Royal Irish Fusiliers) Regiment at the battle of Barossa in 1811. Sgt Masterson was screaming "Faugh a Ballagh" (clear the way) as he attacked, and this became the motto of the Royal Irish Regiment, my former unit.
I didn't remember the actor that later played the Prince of Wales. Came back and watched this and started at the sound of his voice. Still wasn't at Talavera
I absolutely love this series. Been doing some research on the real 95th rifles. They were armed with Baker rifles that could only fire one round per minute. There advantage was range. They could take out French officers to cause confusion in the French ranks beyond the French range
Erm, average rate of fire with the baker was 2rnds per min with jacketed rounds (leather patch placed around the ball to grip the rifling), & 3 rnds per minute with standard ball (no jacket). There's a very good series of documentary vids on You Tube by British Muzzle Loaders cover the Baker & the Rifle brigade.
If you haven't read the books, do so now! These films are great but the books are just superb beyond anything that can be put onscreen. Watching the films first won't spoil too much.
Seems like they could have taken out way more soldiers using arrows instead of lead shot because they could fire faster. All the enemies are grouped together tightly.
Though dramatized because it’s television, It’s for “Battle organization” The battlefield is loud place and drums as well as other instruments translate orders to formations. Regimental drummers would be close marching to regimental colors which present a rally point to troops of different formations. The other reason being psychological, men in formation being lead with war instruments can be intimidating to the enemy. Army bands intergraded with troops in combat would last throughout history up until the First World War. Because machine guns and radio.
Naturally, upon sighting the newest Sharpe compilation I clicked upon it; That's my style, sir!
Did any video clip in the compilation distinguish itself?
Naturally, after seeing a Sharpe video, I knew someone would have recycled this comment for the millionth time..
Quite so Captain Leroy Quite so

The clip Major Lennox Answered With His Life Sir! sir
"Boys... let's load up and do some shootin'..." That's gotta be my favourite line in the whole series.
Cap. LEEEEEROY Jenkins!
@@FionaCharba-et8ty The only thing he didn't say was "Hopdang, futhafucka!"
Typical American :D

Napoleonic military history is fascinating. Without the Irish we'd be speaking French.
It was known as the rally square !! Sometimes, the light Companies and British rifleman would join the line infantry squares
This was the reason why the 95th had sword bayonets as the rifle was shorter than the line infantry's muskets!!
@@sharioverend1618ha true but many filled the French ranks.
0:58 Colonel Prince Regent. 😂😂😂
He got promoted when he came back down from heaven 😅
Now this is soldierin’
Three Cheers for the Prince of Wale- I mean for Major Sharpe! Hip-hip
Huzzah!
SOUTH ESSEX STAND
I like how at the Battle of Talavera Sharpe gives orders to Captain Leroy when Sharpe is only a lieutenant
Let’s stroll through the countryside without putting scouts out.

💯🤔 they were on R&R
MAJOR LENNOX LEFT A LIKE! AS YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE, IF YOU HAD ANY SENSE OF HONOR!
You shamed us sir! You will answer!
Way better than the 2023 Napoleon movie
Take that filthy film, out your f***in mouth! 😆
Naturally, I like to watch Sharpe clips on UA-cam, sir
He'd saved Wellies life, that earned him a promotion, but it was capturing that Eagle at Talavera which made a name for him. 🦅

The British Army of the 19th century...the thin red line... that's historic soldiering.
8:44 naturally as soon as I saw the French advance I soiled my trousers. That’s my style sir!
Now that's soldierin

He later went on to write films and television series....Downtown Abbey...has a knighthood now too.

I love this Boromir version..
Thanks. ✌🏻👊🏼
Отличный сериал!!
CHOSEN CLIPS TO ME.....
Naturally, I gave the order to like the comment. That’s my style sir.
Mmmmmmmmmmmhhhhmmmmmm
THEY ARE MINE, I CHOSE THEM!
Watching the cannon around 8 minutes. Was this before recoil was invented?
Seems like they could have taken out way more soldiers using arrows instead of lead shot because they could fire faster. All the enemies are grouped together tightly.
Archery is really hard, tiring and takes a long time to train. Guns are easier to train masses for
On sighting the enemy i got my arse out of there
good series, quality TV!
Sigh...Sean Bean... sigh
By God...
I won't that eagle.. Everyone wants that eagle.
So, the long range marksmen charge to close assault. I guess.
What 's the purpose of having a line of drummers go into battle? They'd be more effective holding rifles or swords.

18:20 - They certainly had a lovely sense of women's fashion back then, didn't they?
I remember this show being much better than this.
Wanna be in the rifles? You best watch this video then!
С ружьями...и не одного выстрела😂
That action in the movie is unbelievably BAD. They are not even dying properly 😂😂
Simmerson makes me vomit
sean bean ultimately dies horribly in the end
always dies horribly in the end
They remake such total sh**t these days why can't they remake Sharp and for God sake not a political correct version.
