Nelson's Avenger and the Smugglers of Plymouth Sound by Jack Spence   

On 21st October 1805 at the Battle of Trafalgar, Midshipman John Pollard of HMS Victory shot the French marksman who killed Vice Admiral Lord Nelson.  Since that momentous day he has been renowned as the 'Avenger of Nelson'.

This is the story of Commander John Pollard's (1786-1868) fascinating life.  Born the son of a Cornish smuggler, John Pollard joined the Royal Navy at the age of eleven, achieved a long and distinguished naval career and earned a place in history that far exceeded the expectations of a smuggler's son.

To order, please forward a cheque for £12.00 per copy (inc P&P) to Jack Spence, 10 Armada Road, Cawsand, Cornwall PL10 1PQ.
