Admiral Horatio Nelson wounded after the Battle of the Nile. Painted by Guy Head, circa 1800.While Horatio Nelson was known for being victorious in battle, his successes often came at a personal price. He lost his right arm at the Battle of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and sight in his right eye after actions off the coast of Corsica. During his most famous victory, the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, he was mortally wounded by a French sharpshooter. -- source link
