BBC NEWS | UK | Nelson sympathised with mutineers: "'Nelson wrote as he spoke. The letters directly reflect his character and give a strong sense of 'the man',' he said.
The admiral described the actions of mutinous sailors against some bad officers, as 'the most manly thing I have ever heard of' and said it 'does the British sailor infinite honour'.

Dr White, who will publish two books based on his research next year, said: 'When the Victorians put Nelson's letters together there were some letters that they just felt were inappropriate.'

In one light-hearted letter, he addresses his 12-year-old nephew as 'Mr Nelson' and orders him to make a visit the next day.
'It would have been thought a bit ephemeral but it is that sort of personal touch that we love to know about nowadays,' Dr White said. "

My Blogs


  • GENEALOGE

  • This is my oldest blog and I use this for news and notes about my site
    Danish Census and Church Books, other sites, and my daily surfing of the net.
    The blog has been rightly criticised as chaotic but googling will discover some pearls.

  • Exploring Rootsweb

  • I spent a lot of time adminstering message boards and will build up a guide to Rootsweb.

  • Exploring Ancestry dot com and co uk

  • I log on here nearly every day to surf the census and do look ups for myself and friends, and it is so big that a guide is needed to the many databases.

  • Getting to know AOL

  • America Online has become my favourite ISP in UK and I use AOL for chat and as a BBS.

  • Viking

  • This will eventually include a viking novel in public first draft, but also has stuff about modern Denmark.

  • 1805

  • This started as a project to translate selected pages of the diary of Hans Christian Andersen but he was born the same year that Vice Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson died, and I am comparing how UK and DK will celebrate in the 2005 bicentenary - peace or war.

  • Memories

  • I am living history because I was born in 1936.

  • Hugh's Review of Reviews

  • My first success as a freelancee journalist was in the Record Review in 1960, and I enjoy bring critical and analytical. I have retired as a musician and recommencing my career as a writer, I have decided to self-publish in the blogsphere rather than on paper.

  • Hugh's Bloog

  • This is about blogging - and other silly stuff like my health and web oddities.

HCA Ambassadors - H.C. Andersen: "The Hans Christian Andersen Ambassadors are celebrated artists, politicians, athletes and business people from around the world, who are asked by the Hans Christian Andersen 2005 Foundation to represent the celebration of the bicentenary of the birth of Hans Christian Andersen.

All nominees are highly acclaimed within their field and have through their work and life earned great respect and influenced the world around them.

Hans Christian Andersen Ambassadors are to contribute to creating awareness of the celebration in their home country, for instance with their presence at different events related to Hans Christian Andersen 2005 and by sharing their own view of Hans Christian Andersen with the world. "
