Magz,Many Many Moons Ago,HMS Victory The last tour of a hot day was by a party of Americans,avid for the knowledge,Marine ??,their guide,thinking wistfully of the refreshments that he would soon head for as soon as this lot was over,led his charges competenly around Nelson's Flagship,HMS Victory,in Portsmouth dockyard.The Marine had mastered his brief well.The Americans were impressed by his grasp of detail,the depth of insight into what Naval life was like during the Napoleonic Wars,his interpretation of the events of that distant day off Cape Trafalgar,and the courteous readiness with which he replied to questions.
With the day getting hotter.Marine?? first beer was getting closer.He led them finally to the Orlop deck,deep in the bowels of the ship.Here for the first time,he drifted away from the script. "This," he said,"is the Orlop deck,to which the famous Marine sergeant Secker carried Lord Nelson after he was struck down by a French musket ball on the upper deck.It was a great struggle for the sergeant and I can tell you,ladies and gentlemen that we the Royal Marines,have had the bloody Navy on our backs ever since.Aye JR
