Remembering Midshipman John Pollard (1787-1868). Wounded by cannon blasted wood splinter in Battle of Trafalgar but still went on to shoot down the French sniper who killed Nelson. Our family motto should be ‘Better late than never.’

On this day in 1805, the Royal Navy defeats a combined French and Spanish fleet off Cape Trafalgar. The triumph is decisive yet costly; Britain's best admiral, Horatio Nelson, is fatally wounded on the quarterdeck of his flagship, HMS Victory.
