Items related to EVERY MAN WILL DO HIS DUTY
There is no higher expression of the Royal Navy's spirit than Admiral Lord Nelson's exhortation to the fleet before the Battle of Trafalgar: "England expects that every man will do his duty." Every Man Will Do His Duty presents the voices of the officers and seamen during the wars of the Age of Nelson (1793-1815), when the Royal Navy gained a naval supremacy that would last more than a century. The remarkable eyewitness accounts in this meticulously researched work offer insights into life aboard a man-of-war. There are battles, fire-ship and cutting-out missions, shipwrecks, press gangs, and deadly encounters with cannibals, told in the words of the men who lived through them.
