Légende

The late Admiral Patton, a Trafalgar veteran, 1883. 'The death of one of the oldest retired flag-officers of the Royal Navy, Admiral R. Patton, was recorded a fortnight ago. He was above ninety years of age, having entered the service as a boy, very early in this century, in time to be a midshipman on board the Bellerophon at the battle of Trafalgar, Oct. 21, 1805. He was, it is believed, the last surviving officer who was present in that famous engagement, for which he received a medal. His subsequent services were meritorious and distinguished, and the silver medal of the Royal Humane Society was given him, in 1825, for saving a boy's life at sea. The Portrait is from a photograph by Messrs. Window and Grove, of Baker-street'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
