One comment I would make on your otherwise fine explanation are the words,
"That regiments' officers are depicted as (Wickham & Denny to a lesser extent) less than virtuous."
I have to ask - have you finished the novel? Do you mean that you see Wickham as being virtuous? Or is the irony perhaps in the fact that you say that it is the rest of the regiment who are depicted as less than virtuous. You leave me a little confused. I thought Wickham was the only bad one, as far as we are aware?
