"On Britain's roll of honour high shines forth great Nelson's name" - so began the words of my old school song (in Norfolk, of course, the county of Nelson's birth). On card No. 26 in our 'Set of the Month' for February we see the Admiral of the Fleet's uniform worn when Nelson paced the deck of the "Victory" and met his end through a musket shot. Adjacent cards in this series of fifty History of Naval Uniforms by Carreras show gunner ("England expects that every man will do his duty", and right nobly the gunners who fought at Trafalgar did theirs, we are told) and a sailor, cutlass-carrying seamen who helped seal the fate of the French and Spanish off Cape Trafalgar. As summarised in Card Collectors News at the time of its issue in 1937, "the series is splendid, very well produced in colour and covers representative examples of naval uniforms from the sixteenth century to the present day. The printed matter is very full and informative, and the whole turn-out is a credit to the producer. This is one of the year's leading winners." Absolutely! Our picture shows uniforms of 1937 above those from 1805. The Royal Navy may be only a shadow of it was when Britannia ruled the waves, but Britain's maritime tradition runs deep and this set should be in every collection.
