That is Horatio Nelson. He was a British Admiral during the Napoleonic Wars. His most famous feat was the defeat of the French at the Battle of Trafalgar. He died winning that battle.
My alter on a spin off forum is Horatio Nelson.
My other one I use is Wellington.

The P-51 pilot shown a few pages earlier is George Preddy. He was the highest scoring Mustang Pilot of WW2. Killed, I believe, Jan. 1, 1945.

Thanks for that info, Darth. Learn something new every day.
OK, shifting gears off of my usual, but it is in the early 1700's time frame (American). What and where is it?

At that time it would have been Bavaria or Saxony.
