Description Wappen des Herzogs von Wellington, Ritter des Hosenbandordens / The Arms of His Grace The Duke of Wellington KG (= Knight of the Garter): In the centre of the achievement is the shield, on which are displayed the arms. In this case the arms consist of the quarterly coat of Wellesley (the Duke's family name) and Colley, with a smaller shield (or escutcheon) at centre honour point charged with the Union badge of Great Britain and Ireland. This is the augmentation of honour granted to the famous general, the 1st Duke of Wellington. Above the shield is the coronet of rank. Above the coronet of rank is the helmet with the crest, which is affixed to the top of the helmet. Around the helmet is the mantling. In the case of peers the outer surface of the mantling is red and the inner surface is shown as being lined with ermine. Either side of the shield are the supporters: two red lions (Colley). As a Knight of the Garter the Duke is entitled to encircle his arms with the Garter.
