On a related topic, I have been undertaking some research on Admiral Cochrane. He is one of the 'British' Chilean heroes, with streets and warships ships named after him.
Cochrane was a larger than life RN officer, with some extraordinary successful, almost foolhardy, skirmishes against the French. Hornblower and Jack Aubrey stories are based on aspects of his amazing career. Sharpe's Devil also features Cochrane,
After political battles with the British Admiralty, he became the Admiral of the Fleet in Chile, then Brazil and finally Greece, helping them all gain independence against the Spanish, Portuguese and Ottomans respectively.
The Chilean Navy has a Type 23 frigate, Almirante Cochrane, the former HMS Norfolk, commissioned into the Chilean Navy in 2006.
Cochrane is buried in Westminster Abbey but sadly remains an almost unknown hero in Britain.
