Column Icon: Nelson's Column

To better identify posts that include the weekly Column, I am adding the icon on the left.

It depicts the top of Nelson's Column, which is located in London's Trafalgar Square and honors Lord Horatio Nelson, the British Admiral who defeated Napolean's French fleet in the famous 1805 battle fought off the Spanish coast.

My favorite bit of the story is when Nelson sends the pre-battle message to his fleet, "England expects that every man will do his duty."
