Trivia
Obadiah Hakeswill has been in five of the Sharpe books, making him, along with Pierre Ducos, the most frequently recurring Sharpe villain.

Goofs
It would have been obvious that Hakeswill had shot Ensign Matthews as he was the only man with a seven-barrelled volley gun.

Quotes
Richard Sharpe: I'm a soldier, sir, not a bloody clerk! I fetch, I forage, and I take punishment drills! It's "yes sir, no sir, can I dig your latrine, sir?" and it's not bloody soldiering!
Major Nairn: It *is* bloody soldiering! What the hell do you think soldiering is? Just because you've been allowed to swan about like a bloody pirate for years...!
Richard Sharpe: Look, sir, when you fling us up against those walls, you'll be glad there's some pirates in there, and not just bloody clerks!

Crazy credits
For some unknown inexplicable reason Muir Sutherland is listed as producer twice.
