PRINCE FREDERICK, DUKE OF YORK AND OF ALBANY, EARL OF ULSTER, K.G., G.C.B., G.C.H. was the second son of George III and, until his death in 1827, heir to the throne of his brother George IV. During a long and, in a number of respects, distinguished military career there were also unsuccessful campaigns, personal setbacks and scandals. Popularly the ubiquitous Grand Old Duke of York… nursery rhyme is said to have been created (or, more probably, re-created) in mockery of his command in the Flanders Campaign of 1793-4, and he was later afflicted by omnipresent gambling debts. He resigned his post as Commander-in-Chief in 1809 before being reinstated (by his brother, the Prince Regent) in 1811 and his statue, at least, was accorded a place in Waterloo Place in London, where it still stands.
