Simmerson runs away as expected and Leroy holds the line, repulsing the French with Sharpe's new loading technique and the day is won. Sharpe's Light Company is detached from the South Essex not long after, so Leroy stays in the South Essex and rises to its commander.

Seen many such films, TV, video clips. Just thought - once hit, they fall to ground and lie still. Reality was shattered limbs, shocked silence, then howling and swearing in pain and holding or pressing on injured area (both alleviate the pain) - as with any bad sporting or construction trade injury. Very few would die gracefully and quickly. By contrast, Christopher Lee was in a film where director wanted someone knifed from behind to go down with noise and struggle. Lee pointed out that's not what happens. They can't make a sound as lungs punctured. Lee was in SOE in WW2. Cast and crew quiet after he said it

War is war and blood etc might look great but for those of us who have to wear our uniforms it's a pain in the butt to get out fake blood. You don't have to watch these programmes if you are looking for real blood and guts.

The French were brave Soldiers, ill served by bad Generalship. They definitely do not deserve a bad rap. The French troops fought hard while British troops evacuated the continent in the face of the German invasion in World War Two. And as if to prove a point, it was the French Charlemagne Division that fought literally to the last in Berlin against the Soviet hordes. And again against the Communists in Vietnam. Properly led, the French Soldier is the equal of any other.
