I think I saw the sharp actor in a movie or I think it was
Waterloo was a terribly bloody battle. Around 40 people died out of the 118 men who took part. Many of them more than once.
And many of them died with a silly walk.
@@alexl7213 Hey, those army boots were easy prey for legos in the grass, they had to be careful.
Including both Wilhelm Brothers.
I was impressed with the way the French line bunched together to avoid the pyrotechnic explosions. Typical French.
Explosive shells? I suppose it's cheaper than the effects of ball or grapeshot on people. Bang, fall over. You can excuse Sharpe for this though because all the acting was brilliant.
Winning the Battle of Waterloo and seeing Napoleon with your own eyes.
That's soldiering.
as soon as i saw them retreating i followed them to secure victory and see napoleon myself sir, that's my style sir!
I love how Harper looks at Sharpe when they part ways, those two went through so much together.
The parting was far better in the book Sharpe's Revenge when they thought they were parting for good.. much longer.. I recommend it heartily..
But why did they part ways?
@@andrewvelonis5940 Harper is no longer a soldier, and isn't out for more glory. Earlier in this episode he refuses Sharpe's offer to join up, I think he was simply done with soldiering. Harper did express the wish that he wanted to see Napoleon though, and once he did I believe he felt that was enough.
When "Over the hills" starts playing as you see Napoleon on a far hill.
Now that's musician-ing.
lol
Now you mentioned it: I miss Gary Moore R.I.P.
Sharpe comment lol
„Your Grace the Prussians are here“
The Prussians: * 3 guys on horses *
one was a ring-in ....
Lmao
Everyone’s favourite reinforcements, taking English into account
(Plural is 2 or more, teh prussians are generous)
“THE PRINCE OF-...damnit...”
Lol now that’s old habits!
Strangely, I've been hearing it as 'the French have.'
Lol. I like to think it was a legit mess up and they just left it in.
when Sharpe left the army, it was the Prince of Wales' Own Volunteers. When he returned it was the South Essex again.
Gotta love how the solider next to him notices and has to hold back a laugh at this XD
Sharpe never had the budget to do these battles justice, but they could still have skillful directing. I love how footage from Talavera is weaved in, along with Sharpe using the old name, the "South Essex," it really underscores the journey this regiment has made, from Talavera, through Spain into France and finally one last battle against Napoleon himself at Waterloo. The soldiers who took an Eagle in their first Battle broke the Imperial Guard at their last, and Sharpe was there to lead them all the way, his journey symbolically concluding with him, finally, in official command of the South Essex. The regiment he forged and, in all but name, led.
Actually Sharpe's slip up was reversed. By then they /were/ the Prince Of Wales Own Volunteers, so he should have said 'The South Esse.. er.. The Prince of Wales Own Volunteers..' not the other way round.
@@julianmhall The 2nd battalion of the South Essex became the Prince of Wales Own Volunteers. The 1st battalion South Essex still existed and this is the group Sharpe leads here.
I wonder why they didn't use actual footage from the battle.
surely such an act under Sharp would see the king's colours restored.
@@1discgolf1 seems pretty lazy on the productions part, but I think the government keeps all the raw footage of the real life battle locked away out of respect for the fallen
It’s been an honor ladies and gentleman. Sticking together through all these Sharpe videos? Come on now... say it with me....
NOW THATS SOLDIERING!!!!!!
That's soldiering
Sharpe's Mission- Sharpe's Waterloo (unless he uploads Challenge or Peril)
goodbye mister fivemr
Damn fine soldiering at that Sah!
There's still two to go! You forgot about Sharpe's adventures in India, sir!
We did it.
Sean Bean not dying on screen...... now that is something special, must be an award for that??
Now THAT'S Beaning!!
Sharpe getting excited at seeing Napoleon with his own eyes gave me the chills.
He's reached the Final Boss :)
He doesnt taunt, he doesnt swear, hes just happy he saw the emperor in his lifetime with his own eyes.
He's one of the greatest men to have ever lived, of course! Anyone would be excited
@@joecorcilles2231 To think that, that one man conquered all of Europe and it took a coalition of nations to bring him down.
@@Bullet-Tooth-Tony- 7 coalitions!! The greatest military tactician in history and probably the greatest we'll ever see
The look harper gives sharpe at the end… they had the ultimate bromance. What an amazing show.
And to think he was going to have Harper shot when they first met
Bernard Cornwell made Sharpe seem so real that it's hard to imagine him not actually fighting in that war.
Если полковник Шарп придуман Бертраном Корнуоллом,, то это никак не означает что он никогда не существовал. Знаю о чем пишу! В самое сложное для меня время, именно лейтенант от инфантерии Ричард Шарп послужил мне примером для подражания.
-Привет всем поклонникам "Приключений королевского стрелка Шарпа"
- Привет из 1990-х!
@@АлексНазаров-с4у реальный был ,только звали его не Шарп.
even tho this whole series was made on a budget of only a tenner, it is and will always be my number one show!!
making a timeless master piece on a ten quid budget, now that's soldiering !
The South Essex, regiment that started out as shiny and green with inept officers that willfully flogged their men for infractions rather than helping them. They captured an Imperial Eagle at Talavera, were at Barrosa where they helped capture another Imperial Eagle, took Redoubt Rodrigo, all the way to Toulouse, and ended their final battle by defeating Napoleon's best soldiers, The Old Guard. The South Essex became a hardened and revered unit through leadership, courage, improvising and sometimes plain luck.
Now that's soldiering.
Charles saint who did he fight for
Vive le Sharpe!
The South Essex is stood down in name.
@@yokoyamataichi1785 If I wipe the name I may wipe the shame.
@@doug6500 I'm making you a unit of detachment, you will fetch and carry.
A brilliant ending! Sharpe's excitement at finally seeing Napoleon gave me chills!! Fantastic actor and wonderful cast.
actually meets him in the books :)
@@alexdavis-mann8513 marvellous
I think they had a beer together after the battle and Napoleon joined the South Essex.
just once he sees napoleon, and then, the great thief of europe has no choice but to show his back.
no!?
@@alexdavis-mann8513
0:14 Getting shrapnel on the leg and keep marching? Now that's Old Guarding
MateusVIII Falling down because you have been fragged is for wusses. Get up man!!
Just a fleshwound
Hell yeah! Came all this way, don't puss out now that you're within spitting distance of the enemy. That's why God invented adrenaline.
Tis but a scratch
@@johndoe-qo5ki XD looks so goofy
4:19 The most epic head turn in the history of British film.
That was amazing
Hahahahahahhaha
Perfect music
I love how he is in shock like seeing a God before him. I suppose back in those times these leaders seemed mysterious and mystical when they appeared and were seen.
Sharpe is literally the only officer to have fought from Trafalgar to Waterloo, he actually meets the Emperor in the book Sharpe's Devil.
It took all of Europe twenty years to definitely vanquish Napoleon. So yes Sharpe can be in awe. But Waterloo wasn't Napoleon's battle, it was Ney who failed him while he was suffering from stomach pain prostrate on a cot. Napoleon would have redeployed under the cover of darkness on better ground.
@@mikecimerian6913 had Ney not blindly charged into the squares without infantry or artillery support they might have won.
You know how close you would have to be to see him? As there were thousands of men on them fields of battle. Filled with Smoke. Cannons. etc.. I bet you had to be within 50 yards...
But one thing they did show. Napoleon knew about Sharpe by name. Ducos told him about Major Sharpe....Napoleon asked if he was Lucky..
@@MasterChief-sl9ro Allegorical. Had he seen Napoleon, I suppose for a soldier, it would give a little glow. It's romance but hey. Personally, I prefer Hornblower but to be fair it certainly had more budget per episode. Waterloo was fubar thank to Ney. We certainly don't see the genius behind Austerlitz at work.
1:44 "'Now, Maitland, now's your time!" I love how Wellington says this line in this, and both in the waterloo movie.
Finding out Maitland's first name was Peregrine (Pippin's real name in LOTR) cracked me up.
@@ryangibson5462 lol thats interesting
Its been a blast. Fingers crossed we all get the Indian episodes: they're the only Sharpe episodes I've never seen. If not, god speed fellow Sharpe fans and... GOD SAVE IRREEELAND (Louder Lynch!!!)
Stremio app. You'll find both indian episodes there.
I believe they're on Netflix too
I've got the blurays, worth watching.
I like how Sharpe almost said "The Prince of Wales' own volunteers" instead of "South Essex".
Having read the novel these scenes seem so tiny to me. But when Over The Hills starts blaring and the Guard flees the field I can't help but tear up a little. Its over. Finally over! 20 years of fighting and millions dead but its finally over!
well only a couple of hundred :P they couldnt afford that many extras haha
They should've killed Napoleon the first time they put him in irons.
A series never does the novels justice Still Sean Bean was a good actor
Anyone else get a chill watching Sharpe when you hear the French troops chanting "Vive L'Empereur!"? Shows how much devotion Bonaparte commanded from his soldiers...
A laughable nobody. If he was alive today the pathetic french freak would be nothing but a meme on tiktok. That people followed these ignorant worthless goons just to die in a meaningless march of not even returning fire shows how brainless westerners really are. Your decline is LONG overdue.
I hope this isn't the end of the channel, but if it is, I take my hat off to you all, thank you for the fond memories, and I bid a good farewell to you all. You made it interesting to say the least, and if Sharpe's Peril comes up next week, well that will be Soldiering .
Good news it wasn't
I love this series but this makes the Battle of Waterloo look like a tiny skirmish
Have you read the book? If not it's very detailed
If only they have more budget
NUKA MAGE watch the film Waterloo. Uses 15000 extras and is also belting
@@settkundesu it is a shame, but the days of epics like waterloo are gone. Imagine the budget needed for that no cgi everything you see is a person or horse
@@settkundesu also not sure if you agree but for me sharpes rifles and eagle seem to have a bigger budget, and are my favourite episodes
The French army at Waterloo, beaten by Sharpe, Harper, and 12 extras who were paid to the sum of one sausage roll and a can of coke each
Harper, sees Napoleon in retreat, declares all of his victory conditions met and quits the field.
That's Retiring
And his retirement home will be at St Helena!
Not sure how they'd let him do that?
@@JnEricsonx Walking around in civilian clothes, they may have thought he was Wellington.
@@paulpeterson4216 Right, I'm just saying, as much as Sharpe would probably be willing to let Harper go-would it be up to him to let him leave the military?
@@JnEricsonx Harper would have been mustered out, as with tens of thousands of others, in 1813. He was not in the military in this episode, just hanging around with Sharpe in between trying to sell horses to wealthy officers.
Bro, the end seen makes me wanna cry, not only do sharpe and harper part ways, but they both see the emperor of france himself, the pure joy in they're eyes, knowing this could be the last time they see napoleon, it's beautiful.
I loved the joy on Sharpe's face when he spotted Bonaparte. It ranks up there with Jack Aubrey getting the order to raise his flag blue at the mizzen.
Within budget constraints, they did a fine job, a stirring tale well told.
At the very crux of the battle, against seemingly insurmountable odds, and at the worst possible time, Sharpes sword was broken completely in two. Luckilly trusty Sergeant Harper was able to provide covering fire while Sharpe made a hasty repair, reconnecting the broken pieces thus allowing him to cut and slash his way to an altogether improbable victory.
Now that's soldering.
I see what you did there…
Lego Sharpe was a good game
One of the best series ever produced.
Shame they only had 78 quid to make this.
They had that much!? Wow I thought it was just the men down the pub
Considering the reused shots from Sharpe's Eagle badly edited in, it shows....
It looks pretty great to me! I can’t believe that they only had 94 dollars!
@@HistoryBoy It's crazy innit?!
40 of those on the drum
"The Prussians are here"
Yes, all six of them.
to be fair Blucher's troops were on the far eastern side of the battlefield so these would have been messengers or somewhat
@@SantomPh Wellington was constantly informed about the movements of the Prussians. There were no Prussian messengers needed. On the left of the Allied army waited Müffling (the fat guy that disturbed the ball in the Waterloo-movie) for the arrival of the Prussian corps that Wellington demanded as a minimum support on his left flank. And when this corps arrived (Ziethen's 1st corps) the chain of messengers immediately reported to Wellington who now could draw forces from the left to the center. By then a traitor already had informed the Allies that Napoleon would send guards to attack the center. Battle communication was much more elaborated than depicted in movies.
It was Blücher „Marschall Vorwärts“ that went to pursue Napoleon. They captured his 2 Coaches. One was send to Düsseldorf and later sold to M. Toussaud. (1843), the other one was sent to Blüchers Palace in Kriblowitz. It was donated to Malmaison in the 1973. were it is part of the exhibition. Napoleons hat is in Berlin. So yes, the Prussians had a lot to do.
Bullshit
Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher.
Prussian Army Field Marshal.
Bahahah I love how it almost deliberately plays down the Prussian intervention. Gotta love Sharpe and I will miss these videos and comments!
SmoothSoulLover Blucher saves the day, absolute legend
There is at least one more film
'almost'
in the battle Wellington couldn't see most of the Prussians, who had emerged from the woods on the left flank. Even he didn't realize Blucher had arrived until the Prussian liaison asked to return to his army.
@@SantomPh Hours earlier, the 1st Prussian Corps, under the command of General Zieten, had reinforced Wellington's left wing. Therefore Wellington could withdraw troops there to strengthen its center.
Wellington was always well informed about the Prussian advance through couriers.
It was lovely watching this series with you lads, wish you all the best
Indeed sir
Now, now. Hold on there my boy. Theres another two episodes to go, our man might upload them.
As well!
@@jackhughes1741 I slightly doubt it, as the BBC really hunts down Sharpe's revenge and peril (think I got the names right)
@@thotarojoestar3045 Do they? Damn. Well, they're both on Netflix, at least in the UK anyways.
The most satisfied I have ever been at the end of a television show. Thank you, Sharpe.
Not dying while being portrayed by Sean Bean, now that's soldiering.
I love how it all begins with Sharpe and Wellington speaking face to face and it ends in the same way. Superb
Achievement Earned:
*The End of an Era*
*Now that’s Soldiering*
*Bye Bonaparte *
Sorry I can’t think of much. This was a great series and I love the comment section community. I hope we will meet again, over the hills and far away.
Fingers crossed we get a taste of India, Killer! If not, keep on soldiering!
I've always liked your comments. Brothers in Sharpe we are
I guess Bonaparte got Blown apart....Yes I will go sit in the corner now
We still have sharpes peril and challenge
@@spartanxmonster we are of the south Essex regiment
This is the best ending to a series ever
Gentlemen, it has been an honor to shitpost my way through this war with you all.
Taking control of your old regiment when the commander is shot down and winning the battle of Waterloo?
Now that's certainly soldiering!
Who is the name of their commander?
That’s sharping
@@lordmarshal3799 Captain Fodder, first name Cannon
The Flying Scotsman media colonel Joseph Ford
@@lordmarshal3799 Lt.Colonel Joseph Ford; unlike here where he is killed by cannon shot, he has a complete mental breakdown in the book.
Dramatically running across the battlefield whilst under heavy cannon fire, now that's soldiering.
Whenever I watch Sharpe episodes I'm struck by the excellent acting, and the sheer bravery of the men involved in these battles in Napoleonic wars, and end up depressed by the absolute stupidity of throwing such people away as cannon fodder.
given the technology of the time there were no useful alternatives to the meat grinder, unless you were mountain bandits or the Spanish guerrillas.
look at world war 1 same tactics walking to enemy trnch but while machine guns tear up your men
@@tommyatkins2527 I found WW1 tactics even worse. The trench war reflected the industrial age. It resembled an assembly line in which the soldiers were temporarily stored and after all consumed in a direct attack only to be replaced by a new workpiece.
Both sides cut trenches into the earth to be filled with soldiers. Trains provide a constant delivery of fresh soldiers from the homeland. Behind the trenches you put devastating artillery, before the trenches hindering pesky barb wire. And within the lines you place machine guns that are meant to mow the bulk of the onrushing enemy material. So you shell each other constantly with heavy artillery. From time to time you throw a wave of soldiers against the enemy line. And the enemy does the same against your line. You know that it is very unlikely to break through with a real effect but you have to follow orders and the dogma of the butchering factory.
@@SantomPh Better tactics would've made a big difference. But tactics are a kind of technology in their own right, and militaries had to work with what they had.
Napoleon used to have brilliant tactics
God that ending, with seeing Napoleon, and the music... just a perfect end to the series.
I love how we only get a glimpse of Napoleon. It makes him seem like this elusive villain (even though he more or less became a mad old man after Waterloo)

Edit: oops made a mistake myself :-P
God Save Ireland
Say it, Lynch !!
“Goodbye Colonel Sharpe.” “Goodbye Mr Harper.”
How come they split up at that point? Isn't Harper still under Sharpe's command? I doubt they'd just have let him leave like that, right?
@@JnEricsonx
He'd mustered out after Napoleon abdicated the first time, so he's there as a civilian and horse trader.
@@eldorados_lost_searcher Oh, ok. So he was sticking around out of loyalty, and I guess from what he said, he wanted to see Napoleon himself?
@@JnEricsonx
Exactly right.
After all they've been through. Must have been a bitter sweet parting.
Enlisting as a private and ending up being given your own battalion as a lt colonel, now that’s soldiering!
Just goes to show how well respected Sharpe is that NO ONE argued when he goes "You see me? I'M YOUR COLORS!" I thought a Regimental Color is damn important.
In those days the colour was used as a gathering and reorg point, as well as the battle honours itself, basically the entire regiment would follow the colours in whatever formation was ordered, before a battle, when an officer was to lead he’d proclaim ‘I’m your colour’ meaning the regimental colours (flag) went to the rear of the ranks and everyone reorgs on the officer, and follows him.
He’s basically saying ‘I am now your marker’
I love how the guy walked over to the precise spot just in time to get blown up by a cannonball.
What I like about this is the music. The music it used in its series, is now back again with an epic tune to it, for one final Sahrpes moment.
4:12 “Your grace the Prussians are here”
Reality - Thousands of infantrymen, artillery and cavalry exit the woods, storm the battlefield, and help to overwhelm the French army
Sharpe - 4 Cavalrymen
That's budget soldiering!
If Napoleon had one regret, it's that he didn't burn berlin.
@@santoslittlehelper06 too many spaces
😀😁😃
They were probably just scouts or messengers
chills at the end ... it's been good series chosen youtubers
It has been an honour watching Sharpe with you lot
I half wish they would remake sharpe with a bigger budget
But then I can’t imagine Sean bean not playing sharpe
that ol' smirk at 1:55 God Speed lads being with this channel since rifles.
I guess we will all see each other in the strange time warp that is the episodes in India.
Over the hills and far away, sir.
A battalion in line, firing by company, 3 rounds a minute, destroying French Columns.
Now that's Soldiering.
If you ever were under heavy fire you would soon get the romantic idea outa yer head no glory in seeing yer pals shot to bits
Well lads. It's been a few good years. Thanks to this community for being awesome and good luck and godspeed to all of you.
Yes that was great ! I loved it . Thank You Dan Daly
And here was me thinking the last line from Sharpey would be " See the frogs off, BASTARDS!!!
🤣🤣🤣
One of the best series ever made.
The orchestra in the Finale give me goosebumps everytime . #ThatsOrchestrating
I binged watched every episode. Positive male energy and honor is something lacking from today’s tv and movies.
The best scene of the entire franchise!!!!
Wellington's dramatic head turn. Now that's soldiering.
Sharpe: And that includes officers!
Harper: For real? FINALLY.
Soldiering, now that's soldiering
Like it when Sharpe pops up in my recommendations every so often. The battle scenes look like a very cheap re-enactment at the local park
A couple of notes: colonel Ford gets a far nobler exit than his novel counterpart who after seeing most of his officers and a good number of his men die during the campaign has a mental breakdown, soils himself and flees the battlefield and is mentioned as being basically suicidal after the battle.
Plus in the novel Dogget is promoted to captain and Harry Price to major by Sharpe though whether the promotions are kept by the bureaucrats is unknown and likely doubtful
Sharpe is given the South Essex/RWOV directly by Wellington, so the promotions are likely to come through although at the same time the regiment might be mustered out as many were in 1815-1825, rendering their commissions somewhat meaningless without a pension.
Just downloaded all of the Sharpe series. Gonna watch it right now. I only heard of it because of this channel and the fans in the comments section.
In an age before photography and telecommunications, where an average person's closest chance of seeing Boney was through a rough caricature or engraving in a newspaper, finally catching a glimpse of the man himself, who for one and a half decade warred and ruled through all of Europe, who's armies you've been fighting against for years, at the site of the final victory against him must have been an indescribable feeling.
in Sharpe's Devil he actually gets to meet the man himself on St Helena.
Greatest ending ever
Being put against the Greatest Regiment of Grenadiers on the planet, Running into the fray and making one final stand with very low ammunition, and using footage from the battle of Talavera due to the low budget, Showing the whole world that the OLD GUARD can be broken, and getting to see Boney turn tail and run.
NOW THAT IS TRUE SOLDERING!!!!!!!🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Yes!
Very fantastic movie...I very like ...
It’s been an honour lads
Loved the part when they finally get a glimpse of Napoleon on the hill, through all the smoke and gunfire
When Harper says goodbye it makes me so desperately melancholy
4:33 I love the reaction of Sharpe when he finally gazes upon Napoleon, imagine seeing the greatest commander of the age at that time.
Giving the Prussians something to do with dramatic music
Now that's giving them something to do!
Yeah that was really disingenuous towards the Prussians. The fact of it is that the Prussians has already been engaged against the French right for about 2 hours. In that time they had crushed a French line division and in turn had their buts kicked by the young guard, rallied and threw the young guard back only to be stopped again by the old guard grenadiers.
That’s why Napoleon threw the old guard chasseurs at the British (the scene depicted here). Napoleon was desperate and running out of time. He thought the British were fought out and the old guard chasseurs would just bowl them over. Why he thought that is a mystery. Other than La Haye Sainte being captured he had no evidence that British were packing it in and every evidence that they weren’t. This charge was a foolish move made by an extremely desperate man. A man that ultimately lost everything because of it. And the world rejoiced when he did. After all, Napoleon really was an A-hole and the world was better off without him.
@@panzerlieb yee watch the 1970 Waterloo film, its very good!
121Swaleskid I did. The casting was excellent and they followed the time line fairly well.
Only thing you were watching 30k trainee members of our motherland’s army firing muskets at each other, makes every other movie about Waterloo look trash
@@panzerlieb In the end, parts of the old guard and the young guard took on the Prussians in Plancenoit and lost the fight!
Only the middle guard began to fight against Wellington's line, while parts of the old guard only advanced with them, but did not attack directly.
Letting the UA-cam algorithm distract you from your work and ruin the chance to just rewatch Sharpe properly? That's a soldiering!
The shot at 2:58 is great idk, it's only a second really but the thick smoke serves the scene really well. Sharpe has always had the problem of selling scale. That shot was very convincing is my only point.
i noticed that too, that is very nice shot
It’s a nice touch that the officer who called the Prince a coward is trying to redeem himself by facing the French attack by Sharpe’s side
Peter D'Alembord was always a South Essex officer, he simply abandoned its supreme commander the Prince and took up Sharpe's side.
This was an excellent ending to this series.
Legend says every time Sharpe survives a fight or battle, a different character Sean Bean plays will die.
It's been a good journey. Will you be uploading Sharpe's Challenge and Peril following this?
I wounder why they didn't put them on the sharpe hd box set?
I hope so
@@makeitsonumberone1358 probably because they were shite
Ye they should upload it
@@MrPimpeekins they weren't that bad.
When Wellington says "They won't stand, see them off our land...Now go on, they won't stand"? Now _that's_ rhyming!
Looking directly into the camera and calling Sharpe 'lad'.
Now that's soldiering.
Imagine Sharpe with the budget and cast of Waterloo
I seriously hope someone does a fan edit of this series sometime with vastly improved battle scenes. Because the stories are wonderful.
It would be neat to cut in some shots of waterloo.
Pat goes form gentleman to solder in a split second, now that’s soldiering!
Sharpe lead's on the south Essex to glory of waterloo! Stand to RICHARD SHARPE ,given them HELL
Great series. Very glad I stumbled upon on it. 😊
someone once asked me what Sharpe was about....i told them..."Imagine Jonny Rico from the Starship Trooper movie and Forest Gump had a child that fought during the Napoleonic Wars"
Now I do love these shows, however, if you haven't read the books, then that is a serious must, they are absolutely marvellous in their detail and thrill. To this day, they're the only books which I can only read more than once.
im going through them all now, currently on Sharpes Fury
4:19 the most dramatic head turn in the history of film
4:50 i cant help but look into it deeper, Harper says “goodbye Colonel Sharpe” but Sharpe replies “goodbye mister Harper” and with that he just stops marching and watches on. its like Sharpe actually said goodbye to Harper himself instead of sergeant Harper. its like he died awhile ago and after fulfilling all his requirements leaves with no regrets.
He says Colonel.
@@AlphaLeader42 thanks
I could be wrong but I think Harper isn't a commissioned soldier at this point so officially he has no rank. He returned to Waterloo as a horse trader and to hopefully fulfill his dream of seeing Napoleon in person, something both he and Sharpe have always wanted. To see the man who's armies they've been fighting against pretty much their entire lives. That's why Sharpe calls him "Mr Harper" and they say goodbye when they see Napoleon in the field
@@torchlightstudio1053 wow well damn i guess i shoulda seen the whole thing instead of a small clip
When Waterloo begins, Harper, Harris and Hagman meet up with Sharpe again, but Harper says he has refused to reenlist, being a horse trader in Ireland and selling them to the British military. He's only there out of personal loyalty to Sharpe, which is why he is out of uniform.
I enjoyed this videos so much I got my dvds and have started watching them again
To see love, dedication and hilarious quotes in the comment section i must say ladys and gents it was a pleasure to share this journey with you all 👍🏻
