There is a tale of Nelson's heroism that goes un-noticed today. Once while sailing south of England, an alarm was sounded and he was told a Spanish Man of War was approaching from the west. Nelson quickly responded, sound general quarters and he told his aide to bring him his red jacket. The battle was quick and decisive as the put the Man of War to the bottom. The next day the alarm sounded again and he was told that two Spanish war ships were approaching from the southeast and said with an unfaltering voice to sound general quarters and told his aide to bring him his red jacket. After the battle. the aide asked him why he always wore the red jacket during battle seeing how it identified him. He told the aide it was just in case he was wounded, the men would not see his blood and lose hope. The next day an alarm sounded and Nelson was told the entire horizon was filled with Spanish war ships. Nelson stood boldly and declared sound general quarters and prepare for battle. He turned to his aide and told him to bring him his brown britches! Got cha! Keke
