Death to the French/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Shout-Out: In Sharpe's Escape (2004), one of Bernard Cornwell's Richard Sharpe novels (which were partly inspired by Death to the French), a rifleman named Matthew Dodd is separated from Sharpe's company in a skirmish during the Peninsular Campaign in 1810. Cornwell has acknowledged on his Web site that this character is intended to be the same man depicted by Forester in Death to the French.
