I thought only Sharpe did that.
Hope the sails came in handy at Waterloo.

“Hope the sails came in handy at Waterloo.” Perhaps he made or repaired tents?

Doesn’t surprise me. After napoleon was exiled lots of the navy would have been paid off, even skilled sailors like a sail maker … no need to pay (badly) seamen that were not needed. Had he not had a good war with plenty of prizes a few years later he could well be looking for employment and the army would take anybody that could walk and carry a musket.
