| In 1830 he was appointed to the colonelcy of the 14th Light Dragoons. |
| He had, in the meantime, been promoted to the colonelcy of his regiment. |
| This colonelcy was an honorary title which he held by custom rather than by law. |
| On returning he was gazetted to the colonelcy of the 5th Dragoons. |
| In 1753 he was given the colonelcy of the 14th foot, and in 1754 he became a major-general. |
