Please fix your grammar

Please correct the logical ambiguity of the conjunction or and the misleading use of he/him/his.

During the next two years he was employed on the coast of Ireland or Do you mean both, either, or uncertainty? in the Channel, and in July 1805 was sent to watch the movements of the allied fleet under Villeneuve after its defeat by Sir Robert Calder.[1] On his return with the news that Villeneuve had gone to Cadiz, he stopped on his way to London to see Nelson, who went with him to the Admiralty, and received his (Blackwood or Nelson to command the fleet) final instructions to resume the command of the fleet without delay. Blackwood, in the Euryalus, accompanied him to Cadiz, and was appointed to the command of the inshore squadron, with the duty of keeping the admiral informed of every movement of the enemy" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.1.89 (talk) 16:53, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lifted.

See Sir Henry Blackwood's profile on aboutnelson.co.uk. Nothing is said of its copyright there, but it would be nice to cite. (I'll do it.) --AnOddName 20:20, 18 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Irish Tricolor??

Can anyone tell me why Blackwood's picture has an Irish tricolor above it? He is in no way associated with the Republic of Ireland, since he was born in County Down, the Irish Tricolor was an innovation in 1916, almost 90 years after Blackwood's death and he was a servant of the British Crown?

idle question

Would this be the Captain Blackwood, one of whose descendants was on the reality show Regency House Party, as Captain Glover, later Sir Jeremy? Or at least that's how Glover tells it on the show. 108.18.136.147 (talk) 00:33, 5 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
