'Thank God, I have done my duty...'
Horatio Nelson, 21 Oct 1805
When Nelson uttered those final words having just commandeered his forces to victory against the French and Spanish fleet at Trafalgar, his name become that of legend, forever etching himself and his heroic deeds into the history books.
The Battle of Trafalgar may have taken his life, but the insurmountable victory he achieved was due in no small part to his inspiration among his men and unmatched skills as a navy tactician.
