October 21rst: Today in 1805 the forces of the Red battled the forces of the Blue at the Battle of Trafalgar which ended as a major victory for one or the other of the forces giving them near total control of the seas. The nations involved havent been mentioned to avoid giving any national offence, just as at the big battle commeration this year by one of the possible participants. Cheers to Lord Nelson, who may or may not have been involved somehow, but who certainly didn’t wish to cause anyone at all any undue discomfort….
