Historian Joseph Allen recounts that on one occasion Nelson, whose eyesight was still suffering following his wound, offered toothpicks to an officer who had lost his teeth and then passed a snuff-box to an officer whose nose had been torn off, causing much embarrassment.
Историк Джозеф Аллен рассказывает, что однажды Нельсон, чьё зрение пострадало из-за травмы, предлагал зубочистки офицеру, который лишился зубов, а затем табакерку офицеру, потерявшему нос.
