LAST WEEK'S COMPETITION
NO CORRECT ANSWERS
I think old Peter caught you all out this week. Not one answer Avhich was correct. Well lads and lassies, the picture was of the Duke of Wellington the victor of the cele brat eel battle of Waterloo. He was born in Ireland as plain Arthur WellesTey and as a young man entered the army and quickly rose. It was in Hhe long seven years of the wars in Spain against the French that the young English general first showed his ability to meet and defeat the finest soldiers 4in Europe. Slowly the British forces chased the invaders under Marshals Soult and Ney from the Spanish peninsula, but it was left for the great battle of Waterloo, when Sir Arthur, then known as the Iron Duke, met and defeated the redoiubt able Napoleon himself to gi've him the fame by which avc now know him.
