Born into a military tradition, he first wore the King's uniform at the age of thirteen. He saw extensive service during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, and fought in Southern Africa and the Caribbean. During the Peninsular War, he commanded the 87th Foot and was said to have been the most experienced battalion commander of the conflict. He was promoted to major general and appointed to command a battalion in the Madras Army, and eventually rewarded with the appointment of Commander-in-Chief in India. In this capacity, he conquered the Gwalior State and the Sikh Empire and greatly enhanced British India. However, his victories came at a high price in terms of casualties, and he was much criticized for this. Despite this, he never lost a battle. He was loved by his men, largely because he suffered with them and was always willing to share in the danger.
