Lieutenant General Sir John Colquhoun Grant KCB GCH (1764 - 1835). He also received the orders of St. Vladimir in Russia and William the Lion in the Netherlands. He entered the army as an ensign in 1793 in the 36th Foot. He was present at the capture of Seringapatam and the capture of the Cape of Good Hope in 1806. With the 15th Hussars under his command he led them with distinction at Sahagun and in other affairs during the retreat from Corunna.
He was Aide de Camp to the Prince Regent 1811-1814.
Whilst in command of the Hussar Brigade he was given the nickname "The Black Giant" with his towering frame and swarthy looks. At Waterloo, Grant commanded the 5th Cavalry Brigade, consisting of the 7th and 15th Hussars with the 13th Light Dragoons attached, on one day having five horses shot out from beneath him. During the 1820's he served as a general officer on the Irish Staff. In 1830 he was appointed Lieutenant-General.
