The ‘Gentlemen of the Parish of St. Martins’ had raised a subscription for the purpose of giving a dinner to veteran sailors on the occasion of the ceremonial opening of Nelson’s Column. Unsuccessful in this regard, the fund was instead used to strike a commemorative medal to be awarded to the veterans together with a gratuity of 10 shillings. The medal was duly struck and presented on 2 April 1845 to eligible In-pensioners of Greenwich Hospital, being awarded to 39 veterans who had served at Cape St. Vincent, 35 from the Nile, 45 from Copenhagen and 238 who had fought at Trafalgar - total of 357 awards. Milford Haven states that the medals were struck for presentation to the Royal Marine guard-of-honour who were present at the ceremonial opening of the monument but this is unsubstantiated (Ref: Remember Nelson, by Thomas A. Hardy, 2005 and Naval Medals 1793-1856, by K. J. Douglas-Morris, 1987).
