That's not cold blood, that's in the heat of battle, basically, there are two types of killings, warm blood and cold blood, warm blood killings are typically when in a rage or other un-controllable situation (as seen here), an example of a warm blood killing would be a husband walking in on his wife doing things with another man, and then killing that man, cold blood is when you did it in a situation that was under your control entirely, so this is not a cold blood killing.

If I recall rightly Lynch (in the book, the show doesn’t really mention this) is Irish himself but hates his fellow countrymen and affects an English accent. At the books equivalent of this battle Sharpe puts Lynch with Harper and most of the other Irishmen in the battalion into a single unit and sends them off virtually on their own in a flanking attack. Lynch exaggerates his Irish accent to try and illicit camaraderie with them but after the battle is over is found behind the French lines having been virtually torn apart by bayonets. By comparison this version of Lynch got off very mercifully.

In the book; on the trip over Girdwood stays locked in his quarters loudly composing epic battle poems to the point other officers make mention of it. On the march. Sharpe allows that dogs are to be considered suitable companions for the Regiment, Girdwood is terrified by dogs. The battle is a frontal assault against fortified trenches, and the book goes into how Girdwood completely unprepared for the smoke noise and chaos, as he considers war to be perfect formations and maneuvering. When he does snap he's sitting in a trench surrounded by the dead, talking to them, weeping and trying to recite poetry while a dog chewed on a corpse next to him. One of the other Officers states that, back home, they could charge a penny for people to view him. He's carried away quietly and never mentioned again,

Bits of fabric lodged in the wounds of injured men who were struck by musket balls. Doctors in the early years of the 19th century were unable to treat subsequent infections. Requiring soldiers to fight in their shorts, or completely naked, could have prevented hundreds of deaths. Also, the savings in wardrobe costs would have allowed the producers to hire more extras.

In that era of warfare the flying colours was to be held at times to boost moral and to allow others to identify your unit of men. In alot of war movies of this era you'll see a flag bearer go down and the nearest solider would drop his rifle pick up the flag and run tonthe front of the line don't forgot you also got drummers and other instruments being played in battle that's to help keep a beat to march to. Although I don't believe they where picked up after the man was killed or wounded. Look up movies like the patriot. Or war and peace They have examples of the flag being picked up

Tv artillery is pretty much like using Stormtroopers from Star Wars, they couldn't hit a barn door in a month of sundays, and the one or two hits they do manage makes you wonder why they employed it in the first place. Never mind Cannons don't fire like that anyway. Cannons were shot below the intended target, so as to bounce and skim across the ground, ploughing into ranks of infantry or cavalry, and doing horrendous damage hacking off limbs or heads, and moving on into any units marching behind too. The accuracy would always be off for the first few shots in the beginning of a battle, but as the cannons warmed up the gunners would always find their aim. It's why cannon was so feared on the battlefield, especially if a battalion was formed up in square to avoid a cavalry attack. One cannon ball could sweep away a whole side of the square if it was aimed right, taking out 100 men or more. For this very reason, and to hide where his troops were, Wellington kept his battalions below the ridge at Waterloo, although it didn't stop the odd perfectly aimed cannon ball bouncing just right on the crest and arcing over into the men below. It must have been terrifying, especially knowing that if you did survive a cannonball you had to face the gruesome prospect of the surgeons behind the lines, with their bone saws, pincers and poor hygiene.

Well, if you want to see full size units entirely consisting of real extras engaged in Napoleonic era warfare, watch Waterloo (1970). Other than that, it's either CG formations or small scale. Waterloo was made using essentaily slave labor of thousands of men during their compulsory military service as extras. That would not fly today and nobody has the money to actually pay 17 000 people (not to metion those soldiers already knew how to march and stuff, civilian extras would need to be trained) so a movie like that will likely never be made again.
