What did Watson do before he joined Sherlock Holmes?
Dr. John H. Watson was an army doctor in the second Afghan war (1878-1880). In the BBC series, he was an army doctor in the British Army in modern day Afghanistan before he joined Holmes.
Did Watson help Sherlock Holmes with all his cases?
No. 'The Gloria Scott' and 'The Musgrave Ritual' were solved by Holmes before the two even met, and 'The Adventure of the Lion's Mane' and 'The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier' were cases written by Holmes after Watson was married. There are certainly other cases in which Watson had no hand.When Helen Stoner ('The Adventure of the Speckled Band') refers to the case of Mrs. Farintosh and her opal tiara by way of reference, Holmes says: "I think it was before your time, Watson."In 'The Adventure of the Second Stain,' Watson says that in 17 of the 23 years that Sherlock Holmes was in active practice, he "was allowed to co-operate with him and to keep notes of his doings" leaving six years where the two were not together.
Where was Sherlock Holmes from?
In 'The Musgrave Ritual,' Holmes says, "When I first came up to London I had rooms in Montague Street," and in 'The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter,' Holmes said, "My ancestors were country squires." It seems, from these statements, very likely that Holmes came from one of the provinces of England outside of London.
How does Holmes speak to Watson?
Sherlock Holmes speaks to Watson as if he was Sherlock's student. But then again Watson really is his student--he follows him around on his cases and learns from him by watching him use his deductive reasoning and observation skills. Hardly ever will you find a scenario where Sherlock speaks kindly or with feeling towards Watson. Watson even described him once as an "unfeeling robot set to solve crimes and shun the monotony of life." But of few of the quotes in which a little of Sherlock's inner self shines through include the following: -"Come, friend Watson, the curtain rings up for the last act." -"Watson, if it should ever strike you that I am getting a little over-confident in my powers, or giving less pains to a case than it deserves, kindly whisper `Norbury` in my ear, and I shall be infinitely obliged to you." -"[Watson and I] also have our diplomatic secrets." -"This is my dear friend and associate, Doctor Watson--the sole of discretion, before whom you can speak as freely as before myself." -"If you had killed Watson, you would not have made it out of this room alive."

The great fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes, described himself as the world's first Consulting Detective. "Well, I have a trade of my own. I suppose I am the only one in the world. I'm a consulting detective, if you can understand what that is." -- Sherlock Holmes, 'A Study In Scarlet'
How was the reappearance of Sherlock Holmes explained?
In "The Adventure of the Empty House" (in the collection "The Return of Sherlock Holmes") Sherlock Holmes explains to Watson what happened at the Reichenbach Falls, where he and Professor Moriarty supposedly died. I recommend reading the story (it's on the Internet if you can't get to your public library) but, to rush over it : Mr. Holmes used a technique of Japanese martial arts he called baritsu to overpower the Professor. Moriarty went over the falls. Holmes managed to elude Moriarty's number two man, Col. Moran, and flee. He told Watson that he travelled to Lhasa (sp?) [I believe its in modern Nepal], then spent time in France doing chemical research before returning to England to put away Col. Moran.
Did Sherlock Holmes die in 1893?
Sherlock Holmes is the fictional creation of Arthur Conan Doyle. He first appeared in ' A Study in Scarlet' in 1887, his last stories appear in 'The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes' published between 1921 and 1927. The story ' His Last Bow' is set in 1914 just before the outbreak of the war, Holmes catches German spies. This is the last Holmes story (not the last written, but the one which tells of his last case), He has by this time retired to a small farm in Sussex to keep bees. The Story 'The Final Problem' set in 1891 and published 1893 sees Holmes and Moriarty fall over a waterfall in Switzerland. Holmes is presumed dead, but it turns out survived the last fight and went into hiding to enable him to catch the rest of Moriarty's gang. Holmes returns to London, and Watson in 'The Adventure of the Empty House' set in 1894, but published in 1905. Holmes faked his own death on Monday 4 May 1891 to allow him to work undercover.
