Editing Death to the French (section)

==Homages==

In ''[[Sharpe's Escape]]'' (2004), one of [[Bernard Cornwell]]'s [[Richard Sharpe (fictional character)|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 website that this character is intended to be the same individual depicted by Forester in ''Death to the French''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bernardcornwell.net/search/Matthew+Dodd/section/questions/tax/question_type/t/your-questions |title=Bernard Cornwell |publisher=Bernard Cornwell |date= |accessdate=16 November 2012}}</ref>
