British Billy's Great Britons: Lord Horatio Nelson

Britain has always been a proud sea-faring nation with more than our fair share of maritime heroes. There is none of whom we are prouder than Lord Horatio Nelson. He was born at Burnham Thorpe near Norwich in 1758, so we consider him a local hero too. Billy the Cat (aka British Billy) lives in Elveden, a local village about ten miles from RAF Lakenheath. Many of his American friends and admirers ask Billy about the things puzzling them about life and culture in the U.K., and if he doesn’t know the answer, he has ways and means of finding out. Feel free to send him any questions, and when he isn’t sleeping or hunting, he’ll try and put a few thoughts together to help you out.
