Sharpe's Rifles: A LEGO tribute - Over the Hills and Far Away, by John Tams

Richard Sharpe and the 95th Rifles receive a #lego (& LEGO-Compatible) recreation of almost all the characters from the 1990s TV series, to the classic accompaniment of Over the Hills and Far Away by John Tams, who played Daniel Hagman in the series. No copyright infringement intended, only a tribute to the series and song, which is one of my favourite! #napoleonicwars #sharpe

For those who never watched Sharpe, it follows Richard Sharpe as he is promoted from the ranks for saving Sir Arthur Wellesley's life in Portugal during the Peninsular War. He raises through the ranks and fights in major battles, before fighting finally at the Battle of Waterloo.
The minifigures used in this are a mixture of LEGO Custom Napoleonic Wars torsos, and the excellent Napoleonic Wars line available on aliexpress. Take a look at my pinned comment for information on where to buy.
Lyrics to Over the Hills and Far Away - Sharpe themetune by John Tams.
There's forty shillings on the drum,
To those who volunteer to come,
To 'list and fight the foe today
Over the Hills and far away.
O'er the hills and o'er the main
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
King George commands and we obey
Over the hills and far away
When duty calls me I must go
To stand and face another foe
But part of me will always stray
Over the hills and far away
O'er the hills and o'er the main
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
King George commands and we obey
Over the hills and far away
(Interlude)
If I should fall to rise no more
As many comrades did before
Then ask the pipes and drums to play
Over the hills and far away
O'er the hills and o'er the main
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
King George commands and we obey
Over the hills and far away
Then fall in lads behind the drum
With colours blazing like the sun
Along the road to come what may
Over the hills and far away
O'er the hills and o'er the main
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
King George commands and we obey
Over the hills and far away
O'er the hills and o'er the main
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
King George commands and we obey
Over the hills and far away
O'er the hills and o'er the main
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
King George commands and we obey
Over the hills and far away
O'er the hills and o'er the main
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
King George commands and we obey
Over the hills and far away
