The 1805 Dispatches #24.06 December 2024 7 of 9 The 1805 Club has a long-standing relationship with the Admiral Lord Nelson School, Portsmouth, UK (ALNS). ALNS is a secondary school with about 1,000 students aged 11-16. Ever since the school’s establishment in 1995, the Club has sponsored an annual ‘Special Award for Personal Endeavour in Overcoming Adversity’, qualities which Horatio Nelson displayed throughout his life. This year’s recipient, 16-year-old RAHA MORTAZAIE-FAR, was presented with the trophy on Thursday 28 November 2024. A full account, including the impressive and touching citation written by the school, will appear in the next issue of The Kedge Anchor. The 1805 Club is proud to maintain this well-established and steady association. Photo credit: Naomi Hillyard, ALNS. ADMIRAL LORD NELSON SCHOOL ST TUDY & PADSTOW, CORNWALL Stephen Howarth recently visited the parish of St Tudy in Cornwall, to discuss with members of the St Tudy Historical Society (https://www.sttudyhistorygroup. co.uk) our joint project for a plaque commemorating 21-year-old Private Richard Masters, Royal Marines, who came from the village and was killed at Trafalgar. In Padstow, Stephen also checked on the condition of the grave of Captain Richard Retallick, which the Club worked on in 2011. Its inscription is now badly worn and the Club will consider installing a plaque.
