Westphal long treasured this memento of his sponsor and commander. Westphal saw much more distinguished service in Home Waters and in the North Americas, notably during the battle of New Orleans, where he was one of few senior officers to emerge with credit. He was ‘under fire against the Enemy, it is no exaggeration to say, upwards of One Hundred Times. His conduct upon all occasions has merited the approbation of his superiors’. Upon his death in 1875, aged ninety, he was the last surviving Royal Navy officer to have fought at Trafalgar on board HMS Victory .
