1815. War again as Napoleon returns from Elba.
Sharpe finds himself a Lieutenant colonel at Waterloo under the orders of Prince William Of Orange. Sharpe is in command at the farmhouse of La Haye Sainte.
Both he and Harper hope to finally see Napoleon.

Great end to the original series. The battle at La Haye Sainte includes the real life moments when a French drummer boy was spared and a moment from the classic painting where the gates are held shut.

Excellent series.
I rewatched the two India set ones a couple of months ago and did enjoy them. In particular Sharpe's Peril which felt more like a Cornwell adaptation even if it isn't
