  Object title	Our heritage; Lord Nelson
  Text	Our Heritage May the great God Whom I worship grant to my country, and for the benefit of Europe in general, a great and glorious victory; and may no misconduct in anyone tarnish it; and may humanity after victory be the predominant feature in the British Fleet. For myself, individually, I commit my life to Him that made me, and may His blessing alight on my endeavours for serving my country faithfully. To Him I resign myself and the just cause which it is entrusted to me to defend. Amen. Amen. Amen. Lord Nelson, on the eve of the Battle of Trafalgar, 1805 Printed for the passengers and staff of London Transport to recall other occasions of the nation's will and high purpose.
