218411 Stk. Hamish Hislop "Buck" Taylor Royal Navy HMS Nelson When the nelly arrived in the USA after the D-day landings the captain, Maxwell Hyslop, was interviewed by the local news paper reporters. He made a remark that was reported in the paper, later. - That as a boy he used to shoot rabbits with his point 22 rifle. Never thought as captain of HMS Nelson he would shoot a German jeep at 22 miles range with a 16" shell. - This happened as the Nelson, along with HMS Warspite were engaged in clearing a way for Allied troops to advance. If any one has a copy of that report which appeared in the paper I would be most greatfull, for a copy. In order to settle a lot of arguments. At the time I was on watch in the hydraulic machinery, listening to the Canadian aircraft spotter relay the events over the tannoy to the ship's company.
