My wife and I just returned from a business / personal trip to Europe. On the last day, we found ourselves at St. Paul’s Cathedral where among many things, Princess Diana was married. After climbing the 200 plus stairs atop the dome, we moved to the crypt where one of this boards famous points of discussion is memorialized: Admiral Nelson.
Admiral Nelson lies at the centre of the Crypt, directly beneath the middle of the Dome. His monument includes a call to national prayer that he wrote while in view of the enemy before the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The monument is at least 12 feet high and doesn’t do justice to his contributions. I have not read any of the books recommended by this group and for that moment, I wished I had.
