The Royal Marines' muster roll (ADM36/15996) indicates that he came from Lye-on-Mendip, Somerset and was 20 years of age when he joined the ship. HMS Britannia was the oldest ship in the British Fleet present at Trafalgar. However, her size, strength and heavy armament made her an important asset in battle even if her sailing qualities did not equal other ships of the fl eet. When the battle began she was in the column led by Nelson being positioned slightly out of line and abreast HMS Neptune. She opened fi re at long range on several of the French and Spanish ships but it was two hours before she was in position where she could break the enemy line.

  • TWICE a CITIZEN Celebrating a Century of Service by the Territorial Army in London

    TWICE a CITIZEN Celebrating a Century of Service by the Territorial Army in London

    TWICE A CITIZEN Celebrating a century of service by the Territorial Army in London www.TA100.co.uk The Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Association for Greater London Twice a Citizen “Every Territorial is twice a citizen, once when he does his ordinary job and the second time when he dons his uniform and plays his part in defence.” This booklet has been produced as a souvenir of the celebrations for the Centenary of the Territorial Field Marshal William Joseph Slim, Army in London. It should be remembered that at the time of the formation of the Rifle Volunteers 1st Viscount Slim, KG, GCB, GCMG, GCVO, GBE, DSO, MC in 1859, there was no County of London, only the City. Surrey and Kent extended to the south bank of the Thames, Middlesex lay on the north bank and Essex bordered the City on the east. Consequently, units raised in what later became the County of London bore their old county names. Readers will learn that Londoners have much to be proud of in their long history of volunteer service to the nation in its hours of need. From the Boer War in South Africa and two World Wars to the various conflicts in more recent times in The Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan, London Volunteers and Territorials have stood together and fought alongside their Regular comrades. Some have won Britain’s highest award for valour - the Victoria Cross - and countless others have won gallantry awards and many have made the ultimate sacrifice in serving their country. This booklet may be recognised as a tribute to all London Territorials who have served in the past, to those who are currently serving and to those who will no doubt serve in the years to come.
