John Hall saw service as a Private in Captain C.W. Dance’s Troop No.5 as part of the 23rd Light Dragoons.
On 16th June 1815, the 23rd Regiment of Light Dragoons were rushed up from Brussels to Quatre Bras and the following day were employed with Dornberg's 3rd Cavalry Brigade in covering the retreat of Allied troops. At Waterloo, the 23rd Light Dragoons were posted in the rear of Halkett's 5th Infantry Brigade in the Allied right centre, and during that long and dangerous day made several important charges with a high degree of ‘steadiness and determined bravery’.
