'England expects that every man will do his duty.'
With these words Nelson successfully inspired his squadron before the Battle of Trafalgar, in 1805, during which he died. At his death, Britain lost a complex leader who balanced a personal longing for honour and glory with a compassion and respect for his men.
interesting choice of sound track 'Sweet Flower of Scotland'! hardly fitting for the most famous English sea battle....
