Nope sorry. Here's another hint. This man was not born in America.

Okay time for another hint.

Though he died just a few years later, Wellington would've recognized this man.

Okay, the value of this one has just gone up to 1000 milbucks. My highest payoff yet.

You guys can find this one with a little work. I've already given you some big clues.

As this will likely be my last question for some weeks seeing as I'm heading off to do some training soon, I'm raising the stakes yet again.

The value of this question is now 2000 milbucks. If nobody has the question answered by the time I'm ready to leave I'll post the answer before I go.
