About the author
The Duke of York's Royal Military School is a co-educational academy in Guston near Dover, Kent. It was founded in 1803 by Frederick, Duke of York, originally to educate the children of soldiers, and it remains known for combining academic study with a strong ceremonial and military tradition.
The school began life as the Royal Military Asylum in Chelsea before later taking the name Duke of York's Royal Military School. In 1909 it moved to its present site overlooking Dover, and over time its mission broadened beyond its original intake while keeping its distinctive identity.
Today, the school operates as a state boarding and day school under Ministry of Defence sponsorship. It is especially noted for its history, parade culture, and long-standing connection to British military life.
