HE WAS ABOUT 6.2 FEET TALL

The 1st Duke of Wellington (the famous one) was in fact only about 5' 8" or 5' 9" and was very slightly built. His uniform as a Field Marshal and another of Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports can be seen in Walmer Castle in Kent. They show that the Duke was a shortish and slender man. Not at all the big, imposing figure that many seem to imagine.
