TL/DR: "Never mind manoeuvres, always go at them." Originally shared by The British Library Today marks the anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar. This memo, written by Lord Nelson 12 days before the battle, explains the basis of his tactics to engage the combined fleets of the French and Spanish navies. The logbook which records the moment of Nelson's death is also held at the British Library and simply states 'Nelson died' when he was shot by a French musketeer during the battle. http://bit.ly/2eqyIzg #TrafalgarDay
