Which means only one thing...
Happy 240th birthday to Sir Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington who was born on 1st May 1769.
The Duke of Wellington, of course, is mostly known as the victor at the Battle of Waterloo where Napoleon was defeated on 18th June 1815.
*is suddenly in the mood to watch Sean Bean in the wonderful TV series 'Sharpe' because of this*
