AUTHENTIC NARRATIVE OF
THE DEATH OF LORD NELSON
By William Beatty M.D.
- Surgeon in the Victory at the Battle of Trafalgar

Adapted by Grant Eustace
Read by Edward Kelsey

William Beatty: William Beatty had been in the Royal Navy for nine years when, in December 1804, he joined HMS VICTORY as one of its surgeons. His account of the most famous of all British sea battles, from his unique perspective of a ship’s surgeon, was an immediate success when it was published in 1807, and went into several editions. His subsequent medical career culminated in his appointment as Physician of Greenwich Hospital, and he was knighted by King William IV in 1831.

Grant Eustace works as a writer in a variety of fields, from film to print, and especially in video, where he has scripted well over 200 programmes. But he started professionally by writing plays for BBC Radio 4, and ever since has returned regularly to both radio and audio.

Edward Kelsey has been a "media voice" for more than 50 years, and is probably best known as Joe Grundy in The Archers and Baron Greenback and Colonel K in Dangermouse.
