John Greenwood was appointed as Quarter Master to the 7th Hussars on 25 August 1809 and presumably accompanied the regiment to the Peninsula shortly afterwards. He retired on full pay in 1819 and was still living in 1830. The 7th Hussars formed part of the 5th Cavalry Brigade commanded by Major-General Sir Colquhoun Grant at the battle of Waterloo.
