The 49th Foot, under Colonel Brock, together with two companies of the Rifle Corps, and a detachment of Artillery, were embarked aboard various ships of the fleet, under the command of Admiral Sir Hyde Parker, with Vice-Admiral Lord Nelson as second-in-command. It was during this engagement that Nelson famously ignored Parker’s signal of recall when, with his glass to his blind eye, he said, ‘I have a right to be blind sometimes... I really do not see the signal
As per article not all had 49th Foot put on medal
Note from article reads its interesting to note how these medals are named, some have detailed information on rank and regiment, others just the name of recipient- even for known .confirmed officers.
