The nation' s sense of relief at defeating Napoleon was overwhelming, rather like VE Day in 1945. Before long, there was a national craze for commemorative objects from the war. And one of the strangest mementos, which is kept here at Windsor Castle, is the musket ball that killed Admiral Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar. So this is actually taken from Admiral Nelson' s body. But you have part of his uniform and gold braid that came with the musket ball through his body. And also gold braid that' s fused to the remains of the musket ball. Oh, yes, you can see the braid actually on the musket ball there. And without wishing to be too gruesome, the reason that is attached to the musket is because as it passed through his body, it took some of the braid with it? That' s right, and his uniform. It hit his left shoulder, entered his lung, severed some arteries and lodged in his spine. So he didn' t stand a chance, did he? No, he died with his officers on the Victory. |
