Walcot, Bath

back to all projects

Captain Edward Berry

Berry was one of Nelson’s closest professional friends, and a key member of the original Nile ‘Band of Brothers’. As well as serving with Nelson at Cape St Vincent, the Nile and Trafalgar, he took part in six other fleet battles and a large number of smaller actions. A slight, rather delicate man with fair hair and piercing blue eyes, Berry was quick-witted, impulsive and aggressive to the point of recklessness. When he joined the fleet off Cadiz in hms Agamemnon, on 13 October 1805, just prior to Trafalgar, Nelson is supposed to have said, ‘Here comes that fool, Berry. Now we shall have a fight!’
