This sheet celebrates the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar and is in rememberance of Nelson's death - 21st October 1805. It features the text of Nelson's Prayer on the eve of the Battle: May the great God whom I worship grant to my country and for the benefit of Europe in general, a great and glorious victory; and may no misconduct in any one tarnish it; and may humantiy after victory be the predominant feature of the British fleet. For myself, individually, I commit my life to Him who made me and may His blessing light upon my endeavours for serving my country faithfully. To Him I resign myself and the just cause which is entrusted to me to defend. Amen, Amen, Amen
