The Duke of Wellington, Irish-born British soldier and statesman, 19th century (1956)
The Duke of Wellington, Irish-born British soldier and statesman, 19th century (1956). Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington (1769-1852) commanded the victorious British forces in the Peninsular War, for which he was promoted to Field Marshal and made a duke. In 1815 he inflicted the final defeat on Napoleon at Waterloo. Christened the Iron Duke, Wellington served as Prime Minister in 1828-1830, but his intransigent opposition to parliamentary reform led to him being compelled to resign. His death was marked by a grand funeral and the honour of a burial in St Pauls Cathedral alongside the other great British military hero of the Napoeonic Wars, Nelson. From the Waterloo Chamber, Windsor Castle. A print from People, a volume about the origin and early history of many things, common and less common, essential and inessential, by Readers Union, the Grosvenor Press, London, 1956
