 In more recent times a freshly researched volume by historian Eileen Hathaway has been published which removes many of the older mistakes and contains a foreword by the author Bernard Cornwell, who used the memoir as a source for his Sharpe series, even basing a minor character on Harris, albeit with a very different career.Likewise in the "Sharpe" TV series, the actor Jason Salkey played a rifleman very loosely based on Benjamin Harris.Salkey later recorded an audiobook version of "The Recollections of Rifleman Harris".
