York, Frederick Augustus, duke of York
1763-1827. Second son of George III. He was
an unsuccessful commander in the Netherlands
1793-99, and British commander in chief
1798-1809. The nursery rhyme about the `grand
old duke of York' who marched his troops up
the hill and down again commemorates him, as
does the Duke of York's column in Waterloo
Place, London.
