W. Britain Miniatures|Admiral Nelson Figurine

Admiral Horatio Nelson was a British flag officer in the Royal Navy. His inspirational leadership, grasp of strategy, and unconventional tactics brought about many decisive British naval victories during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. He is regarded as one of the greatest naval commanders in history. His victory on 21 October 1805 at the Battle of Trafalgar led to British maritime supremacy over the next century and beyond. Aboard HMS Victory, Nelson was fatally wounded by a French sharpshooter. Nelson’s death at Trafalgar secured his position as one of Britain’s most heroic figures. His signal just before the commencement of the battle, “England expects that every man will do his duty,” is regularly quoted and paraphrased in British folklore to this day.

Since 1893, W. Britain has produced toy soldiers and military miniatures with attention to detail, quality, and authenticity. Each model figure is cast out of metal and hand-painted to the highest possible standards.
