Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn

Categories: Armed Forces, Royalty

Countries: Canada, Ireland

Born Arthur William Patrick Albert, the seventh child and third son of Queen Victoria. Created Duke of Connaught and Strathearn and Earl of Sussex in 1874. Entered the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich at 16 years old, and in 1900 was appointed Commander in Chief of the British Army in Ireland, and Governor General of Canada in 1911. After a military career he became Governor General of Canada in 1911.

After WW1 if you wanted a statue or memorial unveiled Connaught was your man. Go to the Royal Artillery Monument to see him in action. And to the Masonic Temple in the Great Eastern Hotel in Liverpool Street to see a bust. The building is now used as a theatre so it is possible to see the bust without rolling up your trouser leg. Father of Patricia.
