I am pretty sure soldiers wearing that would have lost a button or more in every battle. Skirmishers in particular who often had to fire from prone position would have done their clothes no favours. One 95th officer gave a description of how his heavily patched uniform looked after months of campaigning in the Peninsula. In the 20th century an artist portrayed him based on his account - he looked like a vagrant with a sword.

Funny you should say that. The buttons of the time (for French troops at least) were made of tin. Easy to melt, easy to cast, easy to plate. The problem is that Tin is an FCC metal that turns into a diamond cubic (being in the same column as carbon) powder below 0C. So when Napoleon's troops went into Russia, the buttons on their tunics slowly turned to dust and they froze to death.

Another interesting story of how buttons at the time were made. Electroplating hadn't been developed, so they would take gold and amalgamate it with mercury. Paint that on the buttons and heat it off. In London near the button factories the gutters would fill with condensed metallic mercury. Many were poisoned.

kaczynski S Sure, his ‘defence lawyer’ is not doing anything, but Ross is also asking Brand if he has anything he would like to add, not merely relying on his reluctant ‘defence’. Whilst the sketches could be questionable, the fact that Brand *literally* had the ring still on him when he emptied his pockets is pretty persuasive. Had they had the ability to set up a ‘proper court martial’, Sharpe is probably right-they probably would have found Brand had debts back in England or was spending lavishly back home. Consulting with London, however, probably would have seen the vast corruption of Horse Guards save Brand. Whilst this was a highly irregular court martial, it was probably the purest court martial that could have ever been set up lol

Not sure how faithful the TV adaption of 'Sharpe's Mission' is to its literary incarnation but this is arguably one of the weaker films of the series. The key issue for me is the character of Colonel Brand who's already overt duplicity becomes progressively _more_ brazen as the story progresses, despite Ross et al still only _suspecting_ treachery! Don't get me wrong Mark Strong is superb as Brand but by the end, this purportedly cunning and calculating character is rendered little more than a clumsy opportunist who's inexplicably (and implausibly) eluded the suspicions of his superiors for years!

This is one of the few Sharpe stories to be completely invented for the TV series. The others are Sharpe's Justice and, arguably, Sharpe's Gold which was a book but the writer hired to adapt it only read the first chapter then decided to do another plot. I kind of like Sharpe's Mission but kind of dislike it. There's a lot of interesting elements to the story, but I feel like they don't come together too well. As you say, Brand's villainy stretches credulity a little when Sharpe starts to suspect him after about three scenes and Ross looks a bit slow in this story as a result. The small scale of the storyline is probably a good decision in response to the difficulties of trying to stage Vittoria and Talavera with about a hundred blokes in a field, but it also makes it weird that Wellington and his chief spymaster should be so invested in blowing up a powder magazine. There's good characters and setpieces in the ep, though. And I was always happy to see more of General Calvert.

I wouldve sloppily turned out my pockets so it stayed hidden, then when Sharpe comes up to do it properly claim he palmed it and he had it all along and he mustve been the murderer and is trying to rush in a (10 minute) trial in the middle of battle to pre-emptively frame someone who knows what he is really like, and use the heat of the moment to hide the obvious deficiencies (claim he added the ring to the sketch etc). Just stall and ask for a proper trial later, there's nothing to be lost by stalling and a vast amount to be gained.

In the 20th century an artist portrayed him based on his account - he looked like a vagrant with a sword.

Funny you should say that. The buttons of the time (for French troops at least) were made of tin. Easy to melt, easy to cast, easy to plate. The problem is that Tin is an FCC metal that turns into a diamond cubic (being in the same column as carbon) powder below 0C. So when Napoleon's troops went into Russia, the buttons on their tunics slowly turned to dust and they froze to death.

Another interesting story of how buttons at the time were made. Electroplating hadn't been developed, so they would take gold and amalgamate it with mercury. Paint that on the buttons and heat it off. In London near the button factories the gutters would fill with condensed metallic mercury. Many were poisoned.

kaczynski S Sure, his ‘defence lawyer’ is not doing anything, but Ross is also asking Brand if he has anything he would like to add, not merely relying on his reluctant ‘defence’. Whilst the sketches could be questionable, the fact that Brand *literally* had the ring still on him when he emptied his pockets is pretty persuasive. Had they had the ability to set up a ‘proper court martial’, Sharpe is probably right-they probably would have found Brand had debts back in England or was spending lavishly back home. Consulting with London, however, probably would have seen the vast corruption of Horse Guards save Brand. Whilst this was a highly irregular court martial, it was probably the purest court martial that could have ever been set up lol

Not sure how faithful the TV adaption of 'Sharpe's Mission' is to its literary incarnation but this is arguably one of the weaker films of the series. The key issue for me is the character of Colonel Brand who's already overt duplicity becomes progressively _more_ brazen as the story progresses, despite Ross et al still only _suspecting_ treachery! Don't get me wrong Mark Strong is superb as Brand but by the end, this purportedly cunning and calculating character is rendered little more than a clumsy opportunist who's inexplicably (and implausibly) eluded the suspicions of his superiors for years!

This is one of the few Sharpe stories to be completely invented for the TV series. The others are Sharpe's Justice and, arguably, Sharpe's Gold which was a book but the writer hired to adapt it only read the first chapter then decided to do another plot. I kind of like Sharpe's Mission but kind of dislike it. There's a lot of interesting elements to the story, but I feel like they don't come together too well. As you say, Brand's villainy stretches credulity a little when Sharpe starts to suspect him after about three scenes and Ross looks a bit slow in this story as a result. The small scale of the storyline is probably a good decision in response to the difficulties of trying to stage Vittoria and Talavera with about a hundred blokes in a field, but it also makes it weird that Wellington and his chief spymaster should be so invested in blowing up a powder magazine. There's good characters and setpieces in the ep, though. And I was always happy to see more of General Calvert.

I wouldve sloppily turned out my pockets so it stayed hidden, then when Sharpe comes up to do it properly claim he palmed it and he had it all along and he mustve been the murderer and is trying to rush in a (10 minute) trial in the middle of battle to pre-emptively frame someone who knows what he is really like, and use the heat of the moment to hide the obvious deficiencies (claim he added the ring to the sketch etc). Just stall and ask for a proper trial later, there's nothing to be lost by stalling and a vast amount to be gained. Then again the meanie Officers/villains with disfigurements in Sharpe always have to be stupid as well as venal.
All's well that ends well,...leastways fer Brand.
Brand would survive the trial, and survive to the year 41k. By this point, he changed his name to Titus and grew another three feet.
Having the makeup department fuck up your sideburns, now that's soldiering.

Nah, kangaroo courts are when you know the person is innocent and ramrod them through the proceedings to find them guilty. Here they knew he was guilty, Ross and Wellington having suspected it for quite some time, and they find not only the murder weapon but concrete proof of the murder on him. It's a short trial, sure, but if you're looking for proof beyond a reasonable doubt, well... I think we're there.

Major Septimus Pyecroft, demolition/explosives expert. His face got scarred and disfigured or something in an explosives accident so he wears the mask to hide it.
