Likely apocryphal. It isn't in the massive official "Despatches of Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington" and the exaggerated, humorous style is not characteristic.

There's no way that's not a joke written many decades or more later.

Technically from Sir Arthur Wellesley, he wasn't made duke until 1814.
