Sharpe Receives Unwanted Reinforcements | Sharpe's Battle | Sharpe

The Spanish king sends the Royal Irish Company led by the inexperienced Lord Kiely as reinforcements. Wellington does not trust the soldiers, who have never been in a battle, and decides to put them under the command of Sharpe to prepare them. Will Sharpe be able to train the soldiers and repel the incoming attack? From Season 3 Episode 2 "Sharpe's Battle": Back at headquarters, Sharpe is informed by Major Michael Hogan that the Real Compania Irlandesa, the royal bodyguard of the captive King of Spain, have been sent to join Wellesley's forces. As the British wish for Wellesley to be appointed Generalissimo of the Spanish Armies, it is imperative that the unwanted soldiers be treated with honour, though they are composed of Irish exiles and their descendants (who have no love for the British due to their occupation of Ireland) and have no combat experience. Wellesley assigns Sharpe to encourage them to desert by taking them to a fort close to the French and drilling them mercilessly. There Sharpe also has to deal with former Wagon Master-General Colonel Claude Runciman, a grossly fat and indolent man. Welcome to the OFFICIAL Sharpe YouTube Channel.
