THE NELSON DISPATCH

JOURNAL OF THE NELSON SOCIETY

Nelson's effigy in wax

The Nelson Dispatch is the quarterly journal of The Nelson Society and is distributed free to members. The production of this journal is the responsibility of the Editor and is the principal vehicle of communication between members. Reports on all aspects of Society activities and forthcoming events are included. Articles from many sources are published and there is always new material surfacing from a worldwide membership. The Nelson Dispatch includes query and correspondence columns which provide both stimulus and, generally, answers. A colour centrefold of a Nelson related scene is included in each issue and unfolded copies are available to collectors. The Sales List of items marketed by the Society is continually updated.

Publication dates: 1st. January: 1st April: 1st. July: 1st. October Articles, letters etc. should arrive one month before publication.

Tombs, Memorials and Graves: We are always anxious to hear about the last resting places of officers, sailors and marines who fought under Nelson’s command. There are many thousands of such clues hidden away in churches and graveyards all over Britain and Europe. If you stumble across one – please let us know.

Annual membership of The Nelson Society includes a free copy of The Nelson Dispatch, published quarterly, and currently distributed to 22 countries world-wide.
