@Juan Carlos De Goya@Gracz87 The white coats were also Austrian, being more of a buff white color, but still white. The old french army of the ancien regime (pre-revolution) wore white for the French, red for Irish/Swiss, and blue for the Germans. The Spanish did wear white, but uniform of different colors and styles were common after the French dissolved the bourbon monarchy in favor of Joseph Bonaparte. There was no official army of Spain till the end of the Pennisular war, instead they were either in the Regiment Joseph Bonaparte or in the Volunteer brigades or Guerillas. Most greatcoats were color coded according to either regiment's depot or to regiment's status. The imperial guard's was the easiest, dark blue.

@@GrasshopperKelly And the skirmishers that killed Sedgewick were lucky there was no cavalry around to ride right through their loose formation and introduce them to the cold steel of a saber. Lines are important because they keep the cavalry away.
skirmishing chain=fewer muskets available in the vicinity to shoot while the enemy charges with bayonets. in the time the enemy marches across 100 yards, in battlefield conditions you can get at most 3 shots with each musket with only 1 in 20 chance of hitting an enemy each shot, you need as many muskets as possible close together to do any damage. after that it's just bayonet fighting and skirmishing chain is too scattered for effective bayonet fighting. every time theres a line regiment shown there are always idiots who claim that they know better. even the us continental army mainly used lines not skirmishing. skirmishing was used only at the start of the battle when the armies had not yet formed up and both sides including line infantry will form skirmish chains. once they were ready to charge both sides would quickly change to line formation to prepare for bayonets.

Back in the day the "rules of war" basically stated that officers should not be purposefully targeted both out of a sense of chivalry (officially) and practicality. A captured officer was worth more in terms of ransom and exchange than 100 common soldiers, and wars were (and still are) ruinously expensive, so killing them prevented valuable ransom. Officers were mostly nobles so basically an agreement among the nobility to not target each other, Common soldiers could also tell who on their side was in charge based on who was the best dressed person. In more modern wars officers remove any rank insignia or distinguishing markings and enlisted soldiers aren't even supposed to salute officers when the enemy may be near by because a sniper will then know who to target.

Your commission as an officer was a large upfront investment. If you were competent and got promoted, it would be worth a lot more when you resigned it. Combined with the opportunities for the spoils of war, and the obvious incentive of not being cut down in battle, all served as a decent motivation to not be like most of the officers in Sharpe.

One would think the personal bodyguard to the King would be Elite Combat Troops, the Best of the Best of the Mother-Loving Best, and generally you'd be right. But not always. The days of Kings leading the Army into battle were over centuries before this, the King very rarely left the safety of his Capital, well away from the lines of any war his country may be involved in, and more than a few of them actually had little more than Color-Guards manning the gates of their palaces. They looked good in uniform, marched well and stood tall, they could keep the peasantry from being a nuisance, but that was about it.

French kings had an entire "Maison du Roi" of guard units, but the only ones who fought and died for Louis XVI were the Swiss Guards, and even that may have been the result of a misunderstanding. Many of the Swiss spoke little French, they were recruited from German-speaking parts of Switzerland and this partly insulated them from revolutionary sentiment. Officers for some of the other units escaped abroad and some tried to organise royalist armies, but by and large the Maison du Roi proved useless when really put to the test. In 1917 in Petrograd, Russian Guard units failed to suppress demonstrations that ended with the Tsar abdicating. The best Guard troops had long since been killed or badly wounded at the front.

To be fair, he was NOT killed by the enemy he was referring to, but by a sniper that was much closer!

When Sharpe is aiming the musket at the colonel, you see Harper "resting" his firearm with the hammer pulled back and his hand on the trigger. Just in case the incoming group of officers may react negatively.

What isn't implied in the series, but may well be taken as fact, is that Sharpe had been exposed to Sir John Moore's training methods at Shorncliffe, and at least some of it rubbed off on him to add to what Sharpe had already learnt in India.
@nancyblackett87779 ай бұрын
For sure. In the books, after Trafalgar, before Sharpe’s Prey, he goes to Shorncliffe, and loves the training but then, Lady Grace dies and he’s very sad, and get left behind when the Rifles head to Denmark. Superb writing!
