Listen for possible mentions of the Anniversary of the battle by the BBC.
I was fortunate enough to sail through the waters where the battle took place
whilst serving in the US Navy, and have always considered Admiral Lord Nelson
one of my heroes.

Dang - Mike [M II] Can't You Get Anything Straight {Correct}

It was his Wife "Frances" -aka- 'Lady Nelson' who wrote the words :
"Kiss me, Horatio" in a letter to Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson.

Ok, I did more digging...It appears I am a lot closer to the truth than
you are.

================================================== =====
It is a common misconception that Nelson's last words were, "Kiss me,
Hardy", spoken to the captain of HMS Victory, Thomas Hardy. Nelson did,
in fact, say these words to Hardy a short time before his death.
Eyewitnesses testified that Hardy kissed the admiral twice: once on the
cheek and once on the forehead, as Nelson struggled to remain conscious.
Prior to this Nelson asked his flag-captain not to throw him overboard
and to look after 'poor Lady Hamilton'. He then said "kiss me Hardy".
After Hardy's first kiss Nelson said, "now I am satisfied". After the
second, "who is that?". When he saw it was Hardy he said, "God bless you
Hardy." However they were not his last words as Hardy was not present at
his death, having been called back on deck.
