I'll always remember visiting Newstead Abbey, near Nottingham, with my grandparents who lived very close to the Abbey. I don't remember how old I was when I first saw the memorial to Boatswain, but I do remember being moved by these words:<br />

Courage without Ferocity,<br />
and all the Virtues of Man without his Vices.'<br />
