[UA] Battle of Cartagena de Indias

[Fidel Santiago]

From the wikipedia article (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Cartagena_de_Indias):

The *Battle of Cartagena de Indias* was the decisive battle of a large-scale
> amphibious expedition by the forces of Britain under Admiral<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Admiral> Edward
> Vernon <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Vernon> against Spain under
> Admiral Blas de Lezo <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blas_de_Lezo>, taking
> place at the city of Cartagena de Indias, in present day Colombia, starting
> in March 1741. It is the most significant battle in the War of Jenkins'
> Ear <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_Jenkins%27_Ear>, though it is now
> largely forgotten by the British, blending into the greater conflict of
> the War of the Austrian Succession. It ended in a major defeat for the
> British.<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Cartagena_de_Indias#_note-7>



> In the middle of the battle, when the Spanish forces had retreated from
> different defense points to regroup in the larger Fortress of San Felipe de
> Barajas, the British dispatched a messenger, Captain Laws, to England. He
> informed the King of their victory on May 17. A special medal was even
> minted in London to commemorate this "victory" with a drawing of Admiral
> Vernon looking down upon the "defeated" Spanish admiral, Don Blas de Lezo
> who appears kneeling down.


Think about those medals (
http://www.coins-of-panama.com/vernon/vn4-100.html?Size=SmallNOen). Medals
minted for such a big lie. I´m sure they have to have some power for a
cliomancer or an cryptomancer.
