Charles Kinloch served at Copenhagen before proceeding to Portugal to take part in Wellingtons first Peninsular campaign. Returning home, he sailed with the "Great Expedition" to Walcheren in 1809 and then returned to Spain for the campaigns of 1810-12; when his foreign service was rudely halted by a severe wound received at Badajoz. Forced to return home to recuperate, Charles Kinloch became a captain by purchase in the 99th Foot in March 1813, transferring back to the 52nd in the following July.
Kinloch was appointed as an extra Aide de Camp to General Sir John Hope and became a unique eye-witness to the wounding and capture of Sir John during the infamous sortie from Bayonne. He returned home but his service in 1815 did not include Waterloo.
