Man. You're right. They'd probably know that he confessed to pushing his captain, and not just any captain, but one of Nelson's own and a hero of the Nile, even if it had been made a little clear that he was not completely there. Holy fucking Jesus.
I wonder what happened to his sea chest -- would Hornblower have taken it to the Retribution with him, I wonder? All those months in the captain's cabin with him, and then man. I wonder if he would be able to take Archie's things to his parents and whether munitying officers were put back in uniform for burial.
If they weren't, I imagine that Archie's dress uniform would still be inside the seachest. *___*
