As an Army officer, Sharpe isn't in the (East India Company) Sergeant's chain of command, that's why his order is being challenged. Well, apart from the Sergeant being an unconvincingly stupid bully, that is. The other thing that grates with me is calling him Bickerstaff; the Sergeant of that name in "Sharpe's Tiger" was a well-respected NCO with a native wife.

Historically speaking, British NCO's of the 19th Century could be quite brutal to soldiers under their watch, regardless of their color. This was done either with the officers turning a blind eye to it or with their tacit approval. It would be very rare for an officer to admonish a sergeant for this, or psychically assault him. If a sergeant went too far, it was usually his soldiers who would deal with him, either during a battle of late at night when he was sleeping.
