#3. Royal Flash ( Part 1 )
Flashman aged: 20 to 21
Years: 1842 - 1843
*Notes
The book Royal Flash continues the adventures of Flashman. It's set in two parts, the first is 1842 - 1843, with Flashman back home in London living it up, and enjoying his new found fame as a hero, although completely unjust.
During this time he makes an enemy of Otto Von Bismark, when he gets him badly beaten by the boxer John Gully. Bismark is more commonly known as an old man with a bald head and bushy moustache, but after some research I cam across this portrait of him dated 1850, with more of a full beard and hair also note that in portrait 2 we see Bismark with medal just like outfit here. I've also found online reference to the fact that he was red-haired so all in all very pleased with the Bismark likeness.
