In THE TIMES Today .. Parkway Meeting Set By Queen's Pork -- P. 13 Jim Pappin Might Sit This One Out -- P. 8 Y 4-H Homemaker Group Display Ability -- P. § LONDON (AP) -- A Royal Navy surgeon said today that for 173 years artists have been painting Admiral Lord Nel- son's eyepatch over the wrong eye. "They've been putting the patch over Nelson's right eye," said Surgeon Cmdr Crawford Barras, '"'and that's all eye wash." "It's true that an enemy cannon ball did send a shower of splinters into his right eye at the siege of Calvi in Cor- sica in 1794. "But he could tell. the dif- ference between light and dark with the injured right eye. It was never removed, you know, and in appearance was normal "Knowing that it was the right eye that was injured, a great many, artists painted a black patch over the right eye, and they've got the color wrong, too." Cmdr. Barras, who is sur- geon commander at the royal naval hospital at Haslar, Hampshire, and one of the navy's top eye surgeons, said old medical records tell the correct story. "After the injury a surgeon advised Nelson to get a green | shade to protect his good eye from the sun.
