while we're on this subject, does anyone know the origin of the following:

the first white line is the battle of the nile
the second is copenhagen's victory
the third white line will ever ever shine in memory of his greatest fight at sea
and the black silk scarf is to remind us all
that we still mourn the loss today
of nelson the brave, who gave his life to save
our honour at trafalgar bay

the white lines are the white lines around the neck flap thing of a sailor's uniform.
