England Expects
"England expects that every man will do his duty" was a signal sent by Vice-Admiral of the Royal Navy Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson from his flagship as the Battle of Trafalgar was about to commence on 21 October 1805. During the battle, as Nelson's fleet closed in on the allied fleet, he ordered Lieutenant John Pasco to signal the British fleet as soon as possible. After Pasco suggested some changes, and Nelson agreeing to them, the signal was sent at around 11:45 a.m. on 21 October 1805 and relayed using a numeric flag code known as the " Telegraphic Signals of Marine Vocabulary".

It has been regularly quoted, paraphrased and referenced up to the modern day. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
