He served in numerous military campaigns and conflicts, including the Irish Rebellion of 1798 and the Peninsular Wars in Spain and Portugal.

He missed the Battle of Waterloo on 18th June1815, much to Wellington’s dismay, because he was on his honeymoon, having married three days earlier Lady Frances Harris (d. 1847), daughter of the 1st Earl of Malmesbury (1746-1820).
