Opis

Reproductions of the 40 chromolithographs depicting the Orders, Batons and Medals presented to the Duke by the grateful governments of all the major nations in Europe who were Britain's allies in the defeat of Napoleon, are accompanied in this book by short explanatory notes on the circumstances of each award, and a general introduction. Among the most prestigious honours bestowed on the Duke were Britains'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 Sicilian Military Order of St Ferdinand. The original book was dedicated 'To the officers and soldiers of the allied armies who fought and conquered under the command of Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington, KG, in India, Portugal, Spain, France and Belgium.' This new edition will be published to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Waterloo, Wellington's famous victory over Napoleon in June 1815.
