"Band of brothers" was a phrase used by Rear-Admiral Horatio Nelson to refer to the captains under his command just before and at the Battle of the Nile in 1798.The phrase, taken from Shakespeare's St Crispin's Day Speech of "Henry V", later came to be more generally applied to his relationship with the captains and men under his command, such as at the Battle of Trafalgar.
