He will encounter snobbery or worse. Promoting NCOs was sometimes paradoxical - for example, a regimental sergeant major promoted to second lieutenant in say WW1, went from being the chief NCO in a battalion, with responsibilities to the whole battalion, to being only a platoon commander. He had commissioned status but that was it.

God.... the TV version is so diluted. In the book series, it is described clearly. It requires 3 things: (1) The soldier must to something extraordinary in battle - Sharpe saves Arthur Wellesley in battle of Assaye. (2) A general must witness the deed - Wellesley obviously witnesses it. (3) The soldier must know to read and write. - Sharpe is taught by Lt.Lawson in Tippu's prison. Finally, the soldier must wish it. Sharpe had expressed that wish to his Colonel, which is told to Wellesley. Also, he was promoted to ensign rank. He becomes lieutenant later when he joins the rifles, which doesn't have ensign rank.

The whole bit with Sharpe standing at attention while bleeding out reminded me of what happened with Charles Nungessor, a French pilot during WWI - he was one of the top French aces, but was also notorious for his wild partying (he flew some missions hungover, still wearing the tuxedo he had worn the night before under his flying clothes), wild womanizing, and his tendency to be totally reckless in combat, so he not only shot down a lot of Germans, he also wound up getting shot down a lot himself (he ended the war having broken literally almost every bone in his body from air crashes). During one dogfight, he got badly wounded by the Germans, managed to limp his plane back to French lines, crash landed, crawled out of the wreckage, and found that the French troops in the area were all standing at attention for inspection from a visiting general...he got in line, stood at attention, and only passed out after he had passed inspection. The man was a lunatic.

When I started reading the Sharpe books it was sort of a guilty pleasure. Sharpe came across as a military superman who went through all sorts of unlikely trials (getting stuck in the chimney in Copenhagen?) and always getting out of them. He' was always pretty sure of what he was doing (at least, in battle situations). The later part of the series, though... he's a great deal more rounded out as a character. Looks like they've changed the story somewhat for the TV series. Did the TV series start in India? Given that it's a relatively low budget TV series (as opposed to a movie), fights which should have involved a company seem to involve a half platoon at most. Wonder what the BIG battles look like - I'll have to go looking.

Everyone but Sharpe, who was a Sergeant, looks to have been unarmed.. and very obviously not mounted. Obviously not expecting any battle to take place they had left their rifles at camp, with only Sharpe (conveniently) bringing his along. The entire crowd arrived by the time Sharpe had already saved Wellington. Of course in the books this is not how Sharpe saved Wellington. It was a much more grand spectacle. But saving the life of a General is the same whether it was done in spectacular fashion or from a small scout patrol. I imagine it's not unbelievable to be receiving a Field Commission if you save the life of the Field Marshal... with the expectation of training to become an officer to follow. Still, this was a good, quick way of setting the scene of the Officer the story revolves around rather than the NCO.
@kaczynskis57214 жыл бұрын
Battlefield commissions for NCOs were fairly rare but did occur during the era when most officers purchased their rank. Not surprisingly the newly promoted faced social challenges - even in the Third Reich, officers promoted from the ranks were sometimes derisively nicknamed VOMAGs - an abbreviation for "people's officer with a working class face". Earlier, in the WW1 German army, there was a class of "Feldwebel Leutnants" who had junior officer responsibilities but still wore NCO collar braid. Their status as more than NCOs but not really officers but still doing the work of officers was irksome to them.

In the books there was a big battle and plenty of British redcoats (not rifles) died and Sharpe was last man standing left fighting off a bunch of French with a cannon rammer while General Wellington was laid out stunned between the wheels of the cannon. Then the English Cavalry arrived and drove off the French. Sharpe swore he was just trying not to get killed but the fact was he pushed Wellington under the cannon and stood over him with the rammer. In the books Sharpe is a big bastard and so is Sgt Patrick Harper. I like the actors in this series but in the books they are big bastards. This makes it more believable that Sharpe can beat up the Sultans strongmen and fight off a bunch of Frenchmen with a cannon rammer. I don't know if the TV series goes into Sharpe's childhood but he was a London orphan and brought up rough and had to learn to fight for survival. Once he is an officer and get leave he goes back to London looks up some people who ran the orphanage gives some he liked money and kills some he didn't like. "Remember me?" Richard Sharpe?" My How you have grown Richard." Yes I have and that's a bit of hard luck for you now isn't it."

@Apollomasque2 жыл бұрын
I like the touch that Sharpe just received a massive gouge to the back with that sabre cut and visibly struggling to maintain decorum and proper posture in the face of his commander in chief. All that shivering and gasping is probably from the tremendous amount of pain he's in from the open, bleeding wound he just suffered.
@Galastel9 ай бұрын
Real life, it was just cold the day they were filming, and Sean Bean is wearing a wet shirt. Story-wise, Sharpe was always nervous around Wellington. And there would be the adrenaline after what's just happened. It's not the wound, which isn't serious at all - just a shallow cut. He's taken worse wounds than this, with much less of a reaction.

You make it an epic battle on a shoestring budget. Also sometimes less is more. Biting over more than one can chew could easily lead to chaotic storytelling. I've never read the books and I am sure I would be disappointed if I had before watching the series -- knowing what kind of epic battles took place in the book. However for the TV screen it always makes sense to downscale things a good bit, even if the budget is still there. Just for the sake of easy viewing. And Sharpe was easy viewing with damn fine actors.
@dgray37714 жыл бұрын
@@Catonzo True, only the specials with him in India are shot with more budget. And that is still subpar. If it were done today with a GOT budget it would be a seriously insane series. But it has a nostalgic feeling watching these old series. It really is good as it is and should remain untouched.
