I do not enjoy zis. Eet is bad for ze digestion to talk about ze Eenglish for too long, et puis I 'ave wine to attend to. Mais Petit François suggested zat if I am to 'ave a page for de Grasse, fairness — fairness, mon dieu — requires zat I also 'ave a page for ze ozzer one. So fine. 'Ere it is. Ze shortest page on ze website.
Ze Eenglish remember zis man as a 'ero. Zey put 'im on a column, on a coin, on a pub sign. Zey forget zat 'e lost an eye, an arm, and ultimately 'is body in a barrel of brandy. I 'ave documented 'is various failures elsewhere — see Ensign Nelson (You are Nothing), see Trafalgar Was a Draw, see also Mon Dieu, Nelson est Mort (et Je Suis Triste... Non). Ze record is in ze record. Below: a summary, for ze readers wiz limited attention.
