Yes it was me, and you’ve probably heard me talk about him because of the poetry book!

Given the references in previous newsletters to the classic 1941 film, “That Hamilton Woman”, the story of the tragic romance between Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson and Lady Emma Hamilton starring Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier, the following anniversary seems worth noting.

BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT! Born today, September 29, 1758, at the Rectory of Burnham Thorpe in the County of Norfolk, a son, Horatio Nelson, safely delivered to the Reverend Edmund Nelson and his wife, Mrs. Catherine Suckling. A little brother for Maurice, Susanna, and William. Mother and son are doing well.

That's to say, today is Lord Nelson's 276th birthday! Huzzah!
