Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington (1769-1852), British soldier and statesman, 1924. Artist: Unknown

Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, British soldier and statesman. Wellesley (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 Paul's Cathedral alongside the other great British military hero of the Napoeonic Wars, Nelson. Taken from the 'Leaders of Men' cigarette cards produced by Ogdens 1924.
