He was wounded several times in combat, losing the sight in one eye in Corsica and most of one arm in the unsuccessful attempt to conquer Santa Cruz de Tenerife. He was shot and killed during his final victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. From "Die Großen der Weltgeschichte". [Eckstein-Halpaus, Dresden, 1934]
