Muchas gracias por vuestra ayuda. Es sobre Nelson en la batalla de Trafalgar:
"Forty feet above him a French sniper up in the mizzentop rigging of the Redoubtable spotted the large diamond stars on Nelson's left breast through the smoke of the battle, took aim and fired a musket ball which hit Nelson's left shoulder and knocked him to the ground"
