Arthur Wellesley, first Duke of Wellington (1769-1852), is one of the most honored and decorated military commanders in Britain's long history. Wellington Honoured offers an outstanding illustrated guide to every medal the Great Duke was awarded by Britain and other countries during his lifetime. This collection was first commissioned and printed privately under the supervision of an anonymous aide de camp and assistant military secretary in the mid-nineteenth century. Wellington Honoured is an updated version of that original book, The Orders, Batons and Medals Conferred on His Grace The Duke of Wellington. Included are reproductions of forty chromolithographs showing the prestigious accolades that Europe's grateful allies presented to the duke after Napoleon's defeat, as well as some of the highest honours bestowed on the Duke, such as Britain's Most Noble Order of the Garter, Imperial Russia's Military Order of St George, Spain's Order of the Golden Fleece and of Merit, and The Royal SicilianMilitary Order of St Ferdinand. A companion to Wellington Portrayed, this gorgeous book will commemorate the two-hundredth anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, Wellington's famous victory over Napoleon, making it a fine gift for any military history or medal aficionado.

Soldier, hero, and politician, the Duke of Wellington is one of the best-known figures of nineteenth-century England. From his victory at Waterloo over Napoleon in 1815, he rose to become prime minister of his country. But Peter Sinnema finds equal fascination in Victorian England’s response to the duke’s death. The Wake of Wellington considers Wellington’s spectacular funeral pageant in the fall of 1852—an unprecedented event that attracted one and a half million spectators to London—as a threshold event against which the life of the soldier-hero and High Tory statesman could be re-viewed and represented. Canvassing a profuse and dramatically proliferating Wellingtoniana, Sinnema examines the various assumptions behind, and implications of, the Times’s celebrated claim that the Irish-born Wellington “was the very type and model of an Englishman.” The dead duke, as Sinnema demonstrates, was repeatedly caught up in interpretive practices that stressed the quasi-symbolic relations between hero and nation. The Wake of Wellington provides a unique view of how in death Wellington and his career were promoted as the consummation of a national destiny intimately bound up with Englishness itself, and with what it meant to be English at midcentury.

Includes over 100 maps of the actions, engagements and battles of the entire Peninsular War. “The men who stood beside the Great Duke The Duke of Wellington was indisputably one of the most able military commanders in British history. He was not only a powerful intellect, but also a man of substantial character...To Wellington, delegation failed to come easily...He insisted on a knowledge of all things that might concern him and was prepared to issue directives on all matters. It is then, unsurprising that he eclipsed his immediate subordinates, senior figures and highly respected commanders in their own right, who were often given little latitude, and were regularly not fully briefed as to Wellington’s strategy and grand tactics; for example, at Waterloo, amid flying shot, the duke terrified his staff by appearing to be the only person in possession of the plan of battle. All this, however, does nothing to diminish the clear contribution many of those closest to the Great Duke made towards the success of his campaigns. While having lessons to learn from Wellington they were more than capable military men-if not actually possessed of quite the same degree of military ‘genius’ as their commander in chief. This book chronicles eight of Wellington’s lieutenants as they fought for him in the Peninsula and at Waterloo. Lord ‘Daddy’ Hill earned his nickname because of his extraordinary concern for the well-being of his soldiers; he was Wellington’s most trusted general and was, unusually, given independent command by Wellington. The fiery Craufurd, leader of the Light Division, could always be depended upon to take the fight to the enemy-sometimes whether it was prudent to do so or not. Picton, the hard swearing Welshman...Accounts of the campaigns and actions of these notable soldiers are joined in this riveting book by those of Beresford, Lynedoch, Hopetoun, Anglesey and Combermere.”-Print ed.
