Embarking for Flanders, with 390 fellow officers and men of his regiment, in April 1815, Stupart was second-in-command of the troop commanded by Captain Edward Cheney and their regiment was brigaded with 1st (or Royal) Dragoons and 6th (or Inniskilling) Dragoons to form the Union Brigade within the Cavalry Division of the army assembled under command of the Duke of Wellington to block Napoleon`s advance on Brussels. On 18th June 1815, Stupart and his regiment went into action at the Battle of Waterloo and he was among the 98 officers and men of 2nd Dragoons who sustained wounds in that battle. After Waterloo, Captain Edward Cheney was given the brevet of lieutenant-colonel and promoted within the regiment to the rank of major. Cheney`s promotion left a vacancy for command of his troop and Stupart was promoted into command, in the rank of captain, his commission being dated 20th July 1815. Stupart spent less than a year in command of a troop of 2nd Dragoons before going on Half Pay on 25th March 1816. He remained on Half Pay until 1844, in that year taking up a captaincy vacated through a promotion in 26th (or Cameronian) Regiment of Foot, then promptly selling the captaincy to a lieutenant in the regiment and retiring on the proceeds of the sale. Francis Stupart married, in Dublin on 8th April 1821, Anne, a daughter of John Jameson of Alloa. There were three children of the marriage: Margaret Haig, born 1823; John, born 1825 and Robert, born 1827. Stupart is buried in Warriston Cemetery, Edinburgh and his Waterloo Medal is in the possession of his regiment, now The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards (Carabiniers and Greys).

Literature L. Patrick Unsworth, The Early Purdeys, London 1996, p. 154. Dillon was educated at Eton and Oxford and inherited his large estate at Clonbrock, County Galway at the relatively young age of 19. In addition to being a skilled agriculturalist, a keen gardener and an innovative forester he was a passionate sportsman. He was Master of the Heythrop Hunt, regularly fished for salmon at Castleconnell but his greatest love was shooting. In his late 20`s a guest at one of his shooting parties took a low shot at a woodcock and blinded him in the right eye. However, the accident did not deter him and he ordered a whole series of new guns including the present double rifle. He continued shooting well into old age and, when he had grown too old to go out, he apparently used this rifle to shoot fallow bucks in the park at Clonbrock from the library window. The Purdey records state that this was made for the left eye, 30th July 1838, for £84. The majority of Purdey rifles during this period were supplied cased in mahogany complete with accessories, however the majority of outer covers were regarded as extras.
