Sharpe never had the budget to do these battles justice, but they could still have skillful directing. I love how footage from Talavera is weaved in, along with Sharpe using the old name, the "South Essex," it really underscores the journey this regiment has made, from Talavera, through Spain into France and finally one last battle against Napoleon himself at Waterloo. The soldiers who took an Eagle in their first Battle broke the Imperial Guard at their last, and Sharpe was there to lead them all the way, his journey symbolically concluding with him, finally, in official command of the South Essex. The regiment he forged and, in all but name, led.

On the left of the Allied army waited Müffling (the fat guy that disturbed the ball in the Waterloo-movie) for the arrival of the Prussian corps that Wellington demanded as a minimum support on his left flank. And when this corps arrived (Ziethen's 1st corps) the chain of messengers immediately reported to Wellington who now could draw forces from the left to the center. By then a traitor already had informed the Allies that Napoleon would send guards to attack the center. Battle communication was much more elaborated than depicted in movies.

They captured an Imperial Eagle at Talavera, were at Barrosa where they helped capture another Imperial Eagle, took Redoubt Rodrigo, all the way to Toulouse, and ended their final battle by defeating Napoleon's best soldiers, The Old Guard.

In those days the colour was used as a gathering and reorg point, as well as the battle honours itself, basically the entire regiment would follow the colours in whatever formation was ordered, before a battle, when an officer was to lead he’d proclaim ‘I’m your colour’ meaning the regimental colours (flag) went to the rear of the ranks and everyone reorgs on the officer, and follows him. He’s basically saying ‘I am now your marker’

It resembled an assembly line in which the soldiers were temporarily stored and after all consumed in a direct attack only to be replaced by a new workpiece. Both sides cut trenches into the earth to be filled with soldiers. Trains provide a constant delivery of fresh soldiers from the homeland. Behind the trenches you put devastating artillery, before the trenches hindering pesky barb wire. And within the lines you place machine guns that are meant to mow the bulk of the onrushing enemy material. So you shell each other constantly with heavy artillery. From time to time you throw a wave of soldiers against the enemy line. And the enemy does the same against your line.

Yeah that was really disingenuous towards the Prussians. The fact of it is that the Prussians has already been engaged against the French right for about 2 hours. In that time they had crushed a French line division and in turn had their buts kicked by the young guard, rallied and threw the young guard back only to be stopped again by the old guard grenadiers. That’s why Napoleon threw the old guard chasseurs at the British (the scene depicted here). Napoleon was desperate and running out of time. He thought the British were fought out and the old guard chasseurs would just bowl them over. Why he thought that is a mystery. Other than La Haye Sainte being captured he had no evidence that British were packing it in and every evidence that they weren’t. This charge was a foolish move made by an extremely desperate man. A man that ultimately lost everything because of it. And the world rejoiced when he did. After all, Napoleon really was an A-hole and the world was better off without him.

Sharpe is given the South Essex/RWOV directly by Wellington, so the promotions are likely to come through although at the same time the regiment might be mustered out as many were in 1815-1825, rendering their commissions somewhat meaningless without a pension.

@@MrPimpeekins they weren't that bad.

Sharpe: And that includes officers! Harper: For real? FINALLY.

It’s been an honour lads

Like it when Sharpe pops up in my recommendations every so often. The battle scenes look like a very cheap re-enactment at the local park

Wellington's dramatic head turn. Now that's soldiering.

The best scene of the entire franchise!!!!

Being put against the Greatest Regiment of Grenadiers on the planet, Running into the fray and making one final stand with very low ammunition, and using footage from the battle of Talavera due to the low budget, Showing the whole world that the OLD GUARD can be broken, and getting to see Boney turn tail and run. NOW THAT IS TRUE SOLDERING!!!!!!!🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Yes!

Loved the part when they finally get a glimpse of Napoleon on the hill, through all the smoke and gunfire

Looking directly into the camera and calling Sharpe 'lad'. Now that's soldiering.

Sharpe lead's on the south Essex to glory of waterloo! Stand to RICHARD SHARPE ,given them HELL

One of the best series ever made.

Now That's Soldiering!!! Thanks For Sharing!!!

Yes a good jorney and one of the most friendly comment sections

Look, my god I saw him, I saw him, well that's all I came for so it is, goodbye Colonel Sharpe, goodbye Mr Harper

I seriously hope someone does a fan edit of this series sometime with vastly improved battle scenes. Because the stories are wonderful.

It would be neat to cut in some shots of waterloo.

Seeing the frogs off! Now that's soldiering!!

What I like about this is the music. The music it used in its series, is now back again with an epic tune to it, for one final Sahrpes moment.

Sean in his finest role

They're coming at us in the same old style. Then we'll meet them in the same old style.

The shot at 2:58 is great idk, it's only a second really but the thick smoke serves the scene really well. Sharpe has always had the problem of selling scale. That shot was very convincing is my only point.

i noticed that too, that is very nice shot

Having the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Wellington as fanboys. Now that's soldiering.

Legend says every time Sharpe survives a fight or battle, a different character Sean Bean plays will die.

Ah, the old days, when Sean Bean was unkillable.

Hopefully they start uploading Hornblower then we can change soldiering to salioring

That's sailoring!

Just downloaded all of the Sharpe series. Gonna watch it right now. I only heard of it because of this channel and the fans in the comments section.

Letting the KZread algorithm distract you from your work and ruin the chance to just rewatch Sharpe properly? That's a soldiering!

Ah what a good ending. Makes me want to cry.

someone once asked me what Sharpe was about....i told them..."Imagine Jonny Rico from the Starship Trooper movie and Forest Gump had a child that fought during the Napoleonic Wars"

Great series. Very glad I stumbled upon on it. 😊

4:19 the most dramatic head turn in the history of film

Achievement unlocked: You've beaten the Old Guard!

The French army at Waterloo, beaten by Sharpe, Harper, and 12 extras who were paid to the sum of one sausage roll and a can of coke each

I enjoyed this videos so much I got my dvds and have started watching them again

Of all in the series, this one is the most bittersweet. Sharp and Harper both see closure to their campaign careers yet Hagman and Harris die as brothers in arms. On the one hand both of them should have died long ago like their comrades and neither truly had their place in civilian life. So it was in a way fitting they died in duty on the field of battle but at the same time it felt like they were robbed. To survive so much in the peninsular campaign only to die right at the end, then again where would they have gone had they lived through it. They were soldiers, they lived a soldiers life and they died as such. That was their closure and fare, that at the least they died together.

I love how Wellington calls Sharpe 'lad'.

Will we get Sharpe’s Challenge & Peril? Or was that video the end, since it’s the end of the original series?
