BERNARD CORNWELL Sharpe’s Regiment

SHARPE'S REGIMENT is respectfully dedicated to the men of The Royal Green Jackets, Sharpe's successors.
. . if any 'prentices have severe masters, any children have undutiful parents, if any servants have too little wages, or any husband too much wife, let them repair to the noble Sergeant Kite, at the sign of the Raven in this good town of Shrewsbury, and they shall receive present relief and entertainment. Gentlemen, I don't beat my drum here to ensnare or inveigle any man, for you must know, gentlemen, that I am a man of honour! From The Recruiting Sergeant by George Farquhar (1678–1707)
